THE LAKE NURSERIES. 



Big nurseries, where things grow un- 

 der well-directed labor, have been potent 

 factors in the growth and prosperity of 

 Shenandoah, Iowa. The D. S. Lake 

 nurseries have given work to a large 

 force and scores of men have made their 

 start there. When a man could find 

 nothing else to do, he got a spade or hoe 

 and went to Lake's. The story has often 

 been told of the raw Swede who, when 

 asked by an evangelist if he did not 

 want to work for the Lord, said, "Naw, 

 ay tank ye, ay got a yob at Dave 

 Lake's." 



The Lake nurseries had many years 

 of struggle before they reached their 

 present standing. They have 500 acres 

 in "Shenandoah devoted to the raising of 

 trees, shrubs, flowers, etc., but this isn 't 

 all. In New York, Kansas and Colo- 

 rado, where climate and soil are espe- 

 cially adapted to the growth of certain 

 kinds of plant life, they raise immense 

 quantities of stock. This spring they 

 shipped 150 carloads of stock. They 

 annually import large quantities of stock 

 from France, upon which our own 

 choicer fruits are grafted. Nurserymen 

 have found that the French people, be- 

 cause of peculiar climate and soil or 

 better culture, can produce healthier and 

 stronger stock, in certain lines. The 

 Lakes turn out 2,000,000 grafts and 5,- 

 000,000 seedlings every year. They em- 

 ploy 100 to 200 hands and the annual 

 turn-over reaches at least $125,000 to 

 $150,000. 



The firm is composed of the father 

 and two sons, all of the same large 

 mould. The sons are competent to step 

 into the shoes of the father, and their 

 sons will follow them, and so the big 

 nursery, like Tennyson 's brook, goes on 

 forever. When a man has established a 

 business that perpetuates itself, descend- 

 ing from sire to son, he may be said to
