(1975 November 3)
A son of a friend of MaryM's ate the seeds of a Chinese Lantern, a form of Deadly Nightshade. Later after much ado they found it is safe to eat when orange colored and ripe, deadly when green. And this mother has her yard full and sells them to the florist for dried winter bouquets! All unknowingly.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
