September 27, 1994



IDS Growth Fund, Inc.
IDS Tower 10
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55440-0010

Gentlemen:

I have examined the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of
the Company and all necessary certificates, permits, minute books,
documents and records of the Company, and the applicable statutes
of the State of Minnesota, and it is my opinion:

(a)  That the Company is a corporation duly organized and existing
     under the laws of the State of Minnesota with an authorized
     capital stock of 10,000,000, shares, all of $.01 par value,
     that such shares may be issued as full or fractional shares
     and that on July 31, 1994, 54,708,952 shares were issued and
     outstanding;

(b)  That all such authorized shares are, under the laws of the
     State of Minnesota, redeemable as provided in the Articles of
     Incorporation of the Company and upon redemption shall have
     the status of authorized and unissued shares;

(c)  That the Company now proposes to register an additional
     2,171,200 shares by post-effective amendment, pursuant to Rule
     24e-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and that when
     sold at not less than their par value and in accordance with
     applicable federal and state securities laws such shares will
     be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

I hereby consent that the foregoing opinion may be used in
connection with the post-effective amendment to your registration
statement to be filed by you pursuant to Section 24(e) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended for the purpose of
increasing the shares of capital stock, the securities specified
therein, as proposed to be offered.

Very truly yours,




Leslie L. Ogg
Attorney at Law
