II was perfectly true that Florence had
cast herself into the sea. 10 had not been
an act OF despair, however. On the con
trary, hope and courage had prompted her
to leap. The night was clear, with only a
moderate sea running. Al the time the
great ship was passing the Banks, and al
most within hail she saw a fishing schooner
riding gracefully at anchor. She quite
readily believed that II she remained on

She naturally forgot the marvel of wireless

WEST FELtciANA FLOWERS IN
CHICAGO.

Mrs. Bennett |. Barrow was in town
Wednesday. She has shipped large
quantity of jonquils to Chicago, also
to New Orleans, and got good returns
from the floral venture. There is no
doubt that there is a chance to make
much in shipping flowers to Northern
markets. Our mid-Winters are so mild,
as rule, that flowers can be grown in
quantity in the open air. Wagon loads
OF yiolets could be had, merely for the
planting and plucking. Mrs. Bertram
Babers at Rosemound has made money
from chrysanthemums, but these fow-
ers are aristocrats and require careful
culture, but jonquils, daffodils, violets,
snowdrops, and a myriad of other
flowers will grow with little or no at
tention, not to mention the camellias
and winter-blooming roses which re-
quire hardly more care, though they
belong to the floral aristocracy also.
There should be extra good money in
shipping camellias to the North. Our
people have never realized a tenth
part OF the natural resources of this.
