De Haan family pioneers through four generations in Pella
The De Haan story spans Jacob arriving in 1849 and building a two story brick home on University Avenue. Over time the family expanded from farming to industrial cattle feeding with Sid introducing exotic breeds and leading Iowa Maine-Anjou, while Ray and others modernized the operation. The family’s houses evolved, the original home was dismantled in 1931, and the lineage continues with Dawn, Darla, and Dia showing in county 4-H fairs.

How Does Your Garden Grow Fall planting ideas and bulbs
Fall planting suggestions advance with easy growers Allium both dwarf and giant, and Surprise lily with blooms later in August. Allium bulbs divide well, reaching up to five feet for the giant type and a foot for the dwarf, lasting years with little care. Daffodils brighten borders and tree bases, four to five inches deep in good soil. Alliums adapt to sun and moisture, with rock garden mixes offering blue red yellow white varieties.
