ity. The nearer the work, and the

city. The nearer the work, and the
more minute, the greater the eye
strain. The more constant this focal
ization the more severe the y strain.
With decrease of the illumination be-
low a high physiologic standard there
is a geometrical increase of y strain.
1t is a well-established fact that
either the overuse of the eyes, Or the
of eyes under bad conditions, may
give rise to y fatigue or to eye
strain, and many eye specialists be-
lieve that at least so to 80 per cent Of
headaches are dependent on eye strain.
1t is impossible to ignore the proba-
bility that many individuals working
by gas light, or even by. electric light,
in dirty, implanted, o~verheated rooms,
with impure air and excessive mois-
ture, for ten hours a day, or merely
for the last two hours during the day,
use up a great deal of nervous energy
and suffer from eye fatigue or eye
strain and it's consequences.
OF late years increasing attention
has been given to working conditions
in factories, shops n Offices in re-
gard to illumination, ventilation, hours
and character of work, and this is
bound to result In greater efficiency
and less time lost in sickness and
nervous disorders.

Of this article to visit this plant dur

flowers n plants we'll repaid us for
the time consumed. We found the
foreman, Frank Meyers, in charge and
he is an affable gentleman who de-
lights in showing visitors through the
plant. -.
The greenhouses proper are built
in the ear Of a commodious cottage
in which the employees of the firm
make their home. The cottage is mod
ern and with its surroundings of
flowers and plants makes a very de-
sirable residence. At the real one en-
ters a large packing room from which
on all sides are joined the latest pat
tern Of glass rooted green houses.
The first houses visited were the
three devoted to the growing Of car
nations and it was like a glimpse into
fairyland when one saw the beautiful
beds Of green dotted here and there by
the carnations Of varied hues. These

appearance.
To care for the business requires
several persons constantly, and in n
busy season extra help is employed.
They ship flowers to all points and all
are grown in Fargo except the Amer
lean Beauty and a few other varities
| which require special treatment as
well as suitable soil.
One thing that is a great benefit to.
Fargo is the appearance OF the park
and grounds and strangers when pass
ing through this city frequently call
at the Office and compliment the city
on the beauty of the park. 1t is the
only park along the n. P.~line that
has a florist constantly at hand to care
for it's grounds and is quite an item
Of expense to the firm.
Fargo people should be proud that
a business of this kind is located here
as it not only does much to advertise
the city, but it brings into the homes
one of the most important elements of
life-beautiful lowers.
Visitors are always welcome at. the
greenhouses or the salesroon1s and
the public should take advantage of
this fact and call often to see the many
beautiful flowers constantly on hand.
The Shotwells are enthusiasts in their
business and delight in showing visit
ors about the premises. ~ ~-.sa

to have a big crop in.
In cold frames around the outside of
the green house are thousands of
bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, hya-
cinths, etc, which they bring to a
warm forcing house during the winter
to grow for cut flowers and pot plants.
The firm also has a large nursery
stock Of all kinds, especially adapted
to this climate and fruit trees all
showing a healthy growth and ready
for spring planting.

A few years ago 1t was believed that
the rigorous winters and the change
able spring weather precluded sue
cessful growing Of the tender flowers
and bulbs in North Dakota. This be-
lief was not shared in by A. T. Shot
well and in 1886 he began business as
the pioneer florist in this state.
The business was small in the be-
small building next to the old Head
quarters hotel. When the big fire oc-
CURED they were about the only firm
that escaped the flames. Later on
when the Headquarters hotel burned
they were compelled to seek other
quarters and were possessed by the
idea that along the N. p. track and
Broadway was the ideal location for
the floral business and after some ne
COLLATION. with the railroad people
they convinced the officers OF the road
that it would be a good thing for the
appearance of the city to. nave a park
and they made arrangements to take
care of it.

was formed. Mr.. Shotwell taking into
