They had just arrived and were the only ones in the place - Price $.50 pr. lb. Dr qrutified me very much by announcing the affuciance of Hours. Delightful harbingers of Spring. and do we "know that Spring is at the clons". Knew may in but the wild Hours never! I notice the girls is beginning to start.
