"Dick" Witterstaetter is at it again, 

 haTiog a few surprises in store which he 

 may spring upon the unsuspecting grow- 

 ers during the Chicago carnation show in 

 January. 



There are seedlings and seedlings, 

 some scarlet, some white, but mostly 

 pink. Of the latter he has so many 

 good ones that it makes one's head dizzy 

 to try to determine "which is which." 



To the casual observer it is a case of 

 "all coons looking alike," although Dick 

 knows the merits of each, having select- 

 ed a few that in his estimation are well 

 worthy of further test. His white one 

 which he intends disseminating in 1906 

 ia a variety that one need but see to 

 appreciate its commercial value. His 

 scarlets are equally fine and one in par- 

 ticular will be given ample room and 

 special attention. Mr. Witterstaetter 

 has enlarged his greenhouse plant by 

 two modern houses, having also made 

 various other improvements about his 

 residence and grounds. X. 



Washington, Ia. — The Keck Floral 

 Co., has its new offices nearly completed 

 and now has a nice display window. 

 Since the reorganization the officers are: 

 President, E. C. Keck; vice-president 

 and treasurer, C. H. Keck; secretary and 

 manager, F. C. Creath. They propose to 

 extend the business largely. 



Grand Forks, N. D. — E. O. Lovell says 

 Thanksgiving trade was much better than 

 last year and trade in general is !n- 

 creafiing and is a third better this sea- 

 son. The people through this portion of 

 the northwest are beginning to appreciate 

 the beauty and benefit which flowers im- 

 part, and are much more liberal along 

 this line.
