Scharf Getting
Ready For Big
Spring Rush

The World editor the fore part of
the week visited the Devils Lake Green
House, and the proprietor, Leonard
Scharf, very kindly showed us through
the place and explained to us just what
he was doing, and what he expected
to do during the coming season. He
has made big preparations for the TAX
ing care of the many orders for flow
ers for Easter which will come in dur
ing the next few days, and the display
of potted plants which he told us
would be gone in another week was
the largest and most beautiful and
the largest we had ever seen. His
stock of Easter lilies was especially
large, and we doubt if a larger stock
could be found anywherein the state.
In the green house Mr.. Scharf
showed us thousands of plants of
many varieties which he had just
started, and for which there would be
no sale for several months. He also
showed us larger plants which would
be ready to sell on Mothers Day, and
others which he expected to have ready
for Memorial Day. In his line of busi-
ness it is necessary to know just how
long it takes to get blooming plant
after it is started, to plan months
ahead to have just such flowers as are
in demand for special occasions.
Mr.. Scharf expects to have a very
heavy trade this season in tomato,
cabbage, cauliflower, pepper and celery
plants, and has already seeded dozens
of large boxes of these plants so as to
be ready for the rush that will come
on in May. He has tomato plants three
inches high right now, and will trans
plant these once or twice before SELL
ing them, and told us that these under
ordinary conditions should be bearing
ripe tomatoes by the first of July.
These will be sold mostly in paper pots
which are placed in the ground with
the plant and left there. This does
away with any loss in transplanting.
From the number of the plants Mr..
Scharf now has started we would i'm
agine he would be in position to sup
ply every gardener in the Lake Region
with what he needed, but he assures
us that they will all be sold at plant
ing time. r.
In addition tq looking after his
green house this summer Mr.. Scharf
has also arranged to put in five acres
of garden truck himself. He expects
to put in about an acre each of tomato
es, cabbage, cauliflower, and then some
peppers and celery and other garden
truck, which he expects to dispose OF
to Devils Lake people during the sum-
mer. He says he likes this kind Of
