late Monday night and yesterday morn
ing reported at Mr. Brooks office. The
latter was out. Later in the day Rich
ard was found and shipped to Toronto.
He said he had been i'll in Baltimore. 1t
looks more like case Of 'possum. The
chances are that If the Baltimore baby
had remained with the team his Ill turn
would not have prevented his pitching.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.

The leaders and last division Jared
better yesterday than did the middle
section. The Orioles and Clevelands
both won and are having a splendid race
for the coveted first position. The
Phillies lost their fifth consecutive game
to Baltimore. Stivetts had lots of
speed and fairly outpitched Abbey so
that Boston had an easy victory over
Brooklyn. McCarthy's friends were out
in force and presented him with an ele-
giant diamond ring valued at $3.50 and a
beautiful floral horse shoe. The New
Yorks had a narrow escape from defeat.
For seven innings the Washingtons
were at Meekin's mercy. Then they be-
gan. to hit and take advantage of the
big fellows wildness. In the last inning
with the bases filled and two out Glea-
son made a one-handed stop Of Browns
apparent safe drive and threw him out
at first. The Colts won another hot
game from the Concinnatis by falling on
Fishers curves in the seventh inning.
Inks started in for the Reds but was
taken out in the fourth on account Of
wildness. Timely hitting in the fifth
and sixth innings won the game for
Cleveland from Pittsburg.

HeStprd N we Results-

Yesterday was Just the reverse of
Monday AS far as results are concerned.
On Monday all the home clubs won. but
yesterday the scalps ,dangled from the
belts Of the visitors. AS the visiting
clubs included the three tailenders the
race was slightly evened, but no
changes in position took place.
The Barons out-hit the Bisons and
made but one error against the others
seven. The Canadians errors bore an
important part In Wilkes Barre's VIC
tory and the same cause contributed
towards the stars defeat by the Grays.
Last night the four southern clubs
jumped about and the night travel may
affect their chances for winning today,
especially the Barons and Wilkes
Barres, who make the longest trips.

Gillian Pitched for Scranton.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 23.-Scranton won
the game from the Bisons today because
they played better ball. The errors Of
the Buffaloes were nearly as great as
their hits and were very bad ones.
Gillian pitched his first game for the
visitors and was given good support.

Culture of Pelagoniums.

The fancy pelargoniums, often call
ed Mary Washington geranium, do
well in the ,plant-window under ordi-
nary treatment, provided special care
is taken regarding drainage and wa
tering. 1t should ever be borne in
mind, however, that the plants will
not endure stagnant water about the
roots. In potting, see that good drain
age lis effected by placing a layer of
charcoal or broken crock at the bot
tom of the pot, and that the potting-
compost is porous. A soil composed
of half-rotted turf with one sixth
well-decayed manure will encourage
a thrifty growth. Water sparingly
during winter, and keep in a rather
cool, shaded room. Toward spring
give a warmer, SUMMER position, and
water freely as growth begins. If
the plants have been well cared for
during the growing season, the bloom
during the spring months will he gor-
geous, the plants becoming a mass Of
rich bloom. Freddie Dorner has
smaller flowers than some varieties,
but blooms at intervals throughout
the summer. The large-fowered va
rieties are generally satisfactory, and
after blooming the tops many 'be cut
back, and the plants bedded out in
a shady part of the garden. Propa-
cation is usually effected by striking
cuttings in sand just after the flowers
fade in the spring, by cuttings taken
in autumn, and 10y seeds. Keep lay
er of chopped tobaccostems about
the plants, to prevent an attack of
aphides and to enrich the soil.-Ex.

The Progress in Pansy Culture.

Commercial florists and seed7grow-
ers have accomplished wonderful
Things in changing the forms of flow
ers in these later years, though in
many cases, as for instance in the
doubling of some of the beautiful and
old-fashioned single flowers, the hol-
lyhock and others, they have injured
rather than enhanced the value of the
blossoms.
In the case of the pansy, however,
one can feel little but gratitude for
the careful work which the CONNER
cial fower-growers have done for us.
Not many years ago the pansy was a
flower of very ordinary beauty, so far
as coloring was concerned, with few
examples of self, Or solid, colored
blossoms. But now there is at COM
mand an array of color most magnifi-
cent in it's richness. In fact, l do not
know where else in the whole flower
kingdom one could look at such rich
and gorgeous colors as are to be seen
in a modern pansy bed. Here we have
in many colors the beautiful self-col-
Ored blossoms, and with them an ar
ray of combinations that are wonder.

but as well for the fact that there is

A VERY POPULAR CALENDAR.

Few people in these busy days are
willing to live without a calendar to
mark the passing of time. This fact
no doubt, accounts for the calendars
of all kinds, colors, shapes and sizes
which flood the mails at this esason.
Among them all the one that best
suits us Us that issued by N. w. Aver
& Son, the Excepting INCREASINGLY At
IT. Newspaper Advertising Agents of
Philadelphia. We have just received
our new copy and are fixed for 1897.
1t is not difficult to see why this cal
endar is SO great favorite. The fig
ures on it are large enough to be read
across a room; it's handsome appear
ance makes it worthy of a place in
the best furnished office or library,
while it is business-like all the way
through. The publishers state that
the demand for this calendar has al
ways exceeded the supply. This led
them years ago to place upon it "A
price-25 cents, on receipt of
which it is sent, postpaid and secure
ly packed, to any address.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-12-30

very reasonable rate, with full direc-
tions for their use.
For people residing in cities, far
from woods and old meadows from
which goodly supply of leafmold
and rich sandy loan are to be obtain
ed, the potting soil sold by many
florists is very useful. 1t contains
just the right quantity of each kind
of soil and well decayed manure, and
is best adapted to the needs of plants
and bulbs. This is an opportunity
not to he neglected, for the florist I'M
derstands just what is needed, and
has prepared a better mixture than
could be formed 10y an amateur.

everywhere in the combinations a
perfect harmony of coloring. But,
then, Mother Nature very rarely
makes a slip anywhere in her domin-
ion in the matter of taste in arrang.
ing colors tremendously.
Among these beautiful colors OF
modern pansies, none pleases me
more than the mahogany and blood
red shades. But the pure whites, the
blacks and the soft yellows are very
attractive.
The amateur who sends away fol
pansy seeds, and in his delight with
the resulting blooms, thinks to du-
plicate it another year by saving seed
is likely to be disappointed. He will
get but few flowers that resem bled
the stock of the first year, and the
blossoms that he will get will be in
ferior in coloring to those of the first
year This has been my experience.
PromiscuOus crOss-fert ilizatGOn of
many-colored blossoms works havoc
with the delicate beauty that in the
first year had so great a charm. If
one wishes to raise his own seeds, the
various sorts must be kept separate
and this would destroy one of the
great charms of the pansy bed, where
a variety in color is especially pleas
ing. 1t is better to buy a few pack
ages of seed each year from the seeds
men than to attempt the raising of
the seed ones self.
So much for the aesthetic side of
pansy culture. There is practical
side that might well interest a great
number of people to whom a dozen
dollars, that may be made by pansy
culture, would not come amiss for the
purchase of books or periodicals.
When living in the city [ used to pur-
chase in the spring little baskets of
a dozen plants of pansies in bloom.
For these we paid 25 cents.
1t occurred to me that person
with a taste for flower culture, and
having a few sunny windows,
could very easily add some dollars to
his income; and a little later [ found
that one of my city neighbors was
doing this very thing. To one living
in the country and having customers
in the CITY for his farm products, it
would be an easy matter to take in a
half dozen baskets of pansies with
the butter and eggs. They would sell
readily.
Here lis a chance for the daulgh ter
of the farm house to gain some rev.
enue from flower-growing. Rich
earth should be used and plenty of
fertilizer added from time to time, as
pansies delight in a rich soil. The
seeds could be sown in large window
boxes, and the plants transplanted to
the smaller cheap baskets, where
they may be forced to bloom.-WeTbb
