Locals to Play Ball

Manager Stevens has completed ar
rangements with the Goldey College
base ball team, of Wilmington, for a
contest at Academy Park, on Saturday
afternoon, April 20, and is putting forth
his best efforts to place strong nine to
meet the visitors. The game will be
an exhibition contest prior to the regu-
lar schedule and it is hoped may be a
good try-out for the locals. The grounds
have been put in good condition, the
low places filled up, high places graded
down, and other improvements made.
Turn out and see the boys at work.

Hope For Grace Marshall

Grace Marshall, the 28-year-old wo-
man who was rescued from an impris-
onment in her fathers home at St.
Michaels, Md, is slowly regaining her
mental faculties in the Henry Phipps
Clinic at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Bal
timore. The treatment that she has
been given, it was said Wednesday, has
increased her weight more than 80
pounds and has added a few words to
her very limited vocabulary. Her men,
ory too has improved.
After her removal to the Clinic the
doctors despaired for long time of re-
storing her faculties. They showed re-
markable patience and perseverance to
revive any latent faculties she might
have, and now express the hope that
she will be entirely in possession of her
senses.

FLORIDA FLOWER GIFTS

1t does not require brains to say
one has something to give away. My
excuse for writing. We had neglected
garden work done last month, and in
the wedding of bed of oxalis, hundreds
of the little bulbs were pulled up with
the weeds and grass, carefully
shaken out, and gathered into a box,
preparatory to again planting out, and
there they are yet, and now will write
and offer them to you who care to have
them. This oxalis is the dippi variety
of strong vitality, an almost constant
bloomer, producing an abundance of
dainty pink flowers. l will give any
one dozen of the bulbs who sends a
plain address and stamp for postage.
The bulbs are small and can all be
planted in one ordinary sized pot. Don t
think | am so very generous in making
this offer, for am not, l do not want
to plant them-see. Besides there are
plenty of them left in the ground; so
thought would make this use of them,
for we'll l remember before we ever
came to the South, how glad 1 was to
get any pretty flowers from Florida.
How many of you ever grew a real
Dixie cotton plant in your flower gar
den, they are very interesting. l will
send you the cotton seed, if you want
to grow it, and plant at once, in doors
if yet too cold outside allow only one
plant to remain in pot. Cotton bears
large white flowers like a moon
flower, and are soon followed by the
cotton bulbs, which as they mature will
burst, showing the snowy white cotton.
Growing cotton is indeed interesting, as
well as pretty. Speaking of moon
flowers wish you could have seen the
one that covers our entire porch every
summer, opening its great dish shaped
flowers at sunset and closing again at
sun rise l would offer you the seed but
l did not save but little of it, as the
tubers remain in the open ground here
the year around, yet I will send what
moon flower seed have, as long as the
supply lasts, or any other seed that l
happen to have. No l am not in any
seed business, nor expect to be

one is long past three score years

Would you like to grow a cactus from
the seed? can send the seed of cactus
that bears very large semi-double yellow
flowers. Cactus seed is rather slow to
germinate, but last week 1 was picking
up cactus seed pods that had fallen off,
and some of them had already started |
to grow. So many interesting plants,
and flowers here different than the

willing to mail such as l have to any |
