mand for pulp wood in this section
is increasing, and agents of several

BUUDING-HOW JOHN SHARP.
JANITOR MADE IT.
JANITOR, MADE 1T.

John Sharp. the janitor Of the Edison Build
ing was born in England and lived for many
years in house which, like hundreds In the
neighborhood had flower congested back yard.
So when he became janitor Of one Of the high
est office buildings in this city. and he and his
English wife began housekeeping in the rooms
built on the roof of the tall building, he missed
the flowers and growing plants.
So lie specuated to how the space or about
80 by 100 feet could be made to bloom. He
built a large window box. but was puzzled as
10 where to get the earth to fill 1t. Neither
Broad-st on one side. Newest, on the
other. nor the cellars. with their stone and
cement floors could be drawn upon am gar
dens In the Wall Street district have ceased 10
exist. so the janitor had to go to the annexed
district for good soil. Then he made larger box
for the outside in which the plants could be
transplanted when they were large enough.
The earth for this was also brought from Ford
ham.
The next year he made more boxes and made
many trips for earth to fill them. Being COM
PEELED TO travel distance Of eight or ten miles
several times to fill one box would dampen the
enthusiasm of the average man, but John
Sharp was determined to have his roofyard
flower garden and after a while ne had boxes
enough to lay out a garden walk leading from
his back door.
Now after five years he has more than one
hundred boxes and ali the earth came from the
country in small quantities. as much as he
could carry in a bag or basket. In the spring
time ne plants the seed in little inside boxes.
then later he transpants the younS plants IL
the window boxes. All the work is done carly
in the morning and after business hours
the evening, and the result Is that in The sum-
mer one may find on the roof nearly all the
ordinary garden fayorites. There are geraniums
