A. Ries & Son
The above named firm is composed of Messrs. A. and Frank Ries. They own one of the most extensive nurseries and lower gardens to be found in any of the inland towns of the state.
They first engaged in this business in 1889 On a very small scale but from the start they have been well patronized. At the present time they have a nursery of ten acres of fancy fruit trees together with seven thousand square feet of lower beds under cultivation. Their hot-houses are within three blocks of the business portion of the city. They have excellent shipping facilities and give prompt attention to mail orders. They make a specialty of cut flowers for weddings and parties and designs for funerals.  They raise all kinds of potted plants and any thing of hot-house nature can be obtained of this farm.  Mr. A. Ries is an old resident of Carroll and has always enjoyed the utmost confidence of all his acquaintances. Mr. Frank Ries is a young man of great popularity, possesses fine business ability and his strict attention to business has acquired for him a reputation of which he may well feel proud.
The cultivation of flowers is one of the sciences, and needs great care and experience to succeed. These gentlemen are making a success of the business. To those living outside of Carroll we issue an invitation to remember this firm when needing flowers. They will ship to any point ordered on short notice.
