An offer of fl,000 per acre for a forty acre tract of land on what is known as the Duffield farm east of Woodstock, of late adds emphasis to the belief of many farmers that a great selling asset is a body of witter on or near a farm. After working on it for more than four years, Frank Schramm, Crystal Lake's wholesale florist, has intro duced to the trade a new rose which he has propigated, and which will be known to the trade as the "Marene." The rose is a beautiful silver pink flower and was christened recently at the Schramm green-houses here before a gathering of more than 100 members of the Commercial Flower Growers association of Chicago. The Stroker, name is a combination of the names of Mr. Schramm's two daughters, Mky and Irene. Two vases of the new roses were exhibited to the growers. showing the roses in two stages of cutting. s Crystal Lake authorities learned this week that the home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren B.
