DETROIT SEEDSMEN TRAVEL. 



Leri W. Bowen and D. M. Ferry have 

 returned from a trip to California made 

 in a private car with a party of four- 

 teen ladies and gentlemen from De- 

 troit. "We have been on both a busi- 

 ness and pleasure trip," said Mr. Ferry 

 to a reporter. "Our business object 

 was to enable Mr. Bowen and myself to 

 look after some lands that we own in 

 Arizona that are under the famous 

 Roosevelt irrigation dam. We found 

 conditions in the irrigated area of 

 Arizona looking most promising. Rains, 

 however, are much needed. The Roose- 

 velt dam is a great work, which is 

 practically completed, although not 

 quite ready to be operated."

Nicotine fumigating papers are excel- 

 lent. The high grade nicotine liquids 

 are also effective if poured on a steam 

 pipe in each house. Use an oil can and 

 run a tiny stream along one pipe in each 

 house, if you heat with steam. If you 

 heat with hot water you must wait for 

 a time when the pipes are quite hot, 

 in order to use the liquids. These reme- 

 dies can be procured at any good sup- 

 ply house. 



Perhaps your lettuce is not old 

 enough to head. Ten weeks' stocks 

 could be in bloom for Memorial day. 

 There are few flowers that can be had 

 so quickly. H. G. 



Webster, Mass. — It is said that Ferdi- 

 nand C. Riebe, of the Converse Green- 

 houses, has raised a valuable new carna- 

 tion, which is four inches in diameter 

 and is a cross between Winsor and En- 

 chantress.
