In 1866 he commenced the business of a florist in-a small way and has gradually increased his. The Menuenhall Gree> steadily on the increase. The way in which Mr. Mendenhall commenced his business is unique. Hebegan the cultivation, of flowers simply as a matter of taste, and found so many eager foitliem that he was induced to make a charge for his surplus plants. This, however, did not by anymeans stop the demand and, without intending to foster a trade in that line, Mr. Mendenhall foundInmself at the head of a flourishing business. It is unnecessary to say that he must have been well quali-fied for the conduct of such a concern as he now possesses. He has now very extensive greenhouses,the aggregate surface of glass being no less than 45,000 square feet. His trade extends all over theNorthwest, even as far as the State of Washington, and its volume amounts to many thousands of dollarsannually. He cultivates all kinds of flowers and bedding plants
