Sir Philip Miller, the great English hor
ticulturist, writing in 1740 says: 1.-THE
best method to have cabbages good is to
procure fresh seed from abroad every year,
for it is apt to degenerate in England in a
few years."
The above is a simple illustration of the
fact that the best seeds will rapidly degen-
crate under unfavorable conditions. The
wise will take heed, therefore, and buy their
seeds of D. NJ. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich,
whose world wide reputation as the best
and most reliable, as well as the most ex
tensive seed growers and dealers, is due to
the fact that they take advantage of every
circumstance Of climate, soil, methods Of
culture, selection of seed plants, ETC., to
procure the best possible seeds and keep
them up to that high standard.

Annual for 1891 free.

THE FIRST PERFORMANCE.

rl..., ..n...u IaaIi.l.t :. .a1.aa AnllR..ca

UnriyaIed Henry r. Dizey and a Strong
Company Delight Large Audience,
The new Academy of Music was opened
last night by Henry +. Dixey and
strong company in Messrs. Gill & Dixey's
kaleidoscope representation of the
''Seven Ages" A large audience was
present and the perfect setting of the
tableaux combined with the exact inter
probation of them, was 3 surprise and
delight. "Seven Ages" has no counter
part on the stage. II stands out as the
uniquest among the unique.
The audience was kept In fascinating
suspense as the tableaux were being de-
yeloped from Baby Van Loo, the infant
mewling In Its perambulator, to exit OF
Grandfather Van Loo, sans everything.
The representation follows the intro
duction Of BertiB Van Loo, who, after
talk with Shakespeare, falls asleep and
dreams. We go with him during the
interesting scenes through which he
passes, and are guided by Miss Elaine
Ellison, who comes from her Greek tenn
pie far away to tell us the story. Miss
Ellison's charming manner entrances us
immediately She puts us stright on the
coming scene and leaves us TO enjoy 1t. I
Henry E. Dixey filled the title role in
each tableaux and was admirably sup
ported The "School Boy" and the
'Justice" scenes were the funniest the
marriage party, the handsomest; the in
FAINT, the cutest the soldier, the liveliest,
and the lean and slippered pantaloon, the
best.
A feature of the performance was the
beautiful and well-traine1 chorus. The
scene in the police court excited much
laughter, and the Justices rehearsal Of his
new opera was very funny.
The orchestra under the leadership of
Jules Reybold made It's first appearance,
and created a favorable impression.
Several pretty selections were played
The stage settings were the finest ever
seen in this city and were exactly the
same as used in the production in the
larger cities.
"Seven Ages" will be presented this
and tomorrow evenings, and at special
matinee tomorrow afternoon.
