when dressed as daintily as his year.
The "Nellie Lewis" Carnation on the
front of the cover, and "Brilliant Pop
pies'' on the back, are unusually attract
i've, and the numerous cOlored plates OF
flowers and vegetables are certainly works
of art and merit. The first twenty-four
pages, printed in violet ink, describe Nov
elites and Specialties. Send ten cents To
James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. V, and
procure n copy of this attractive and use
full catalogue. 1t costs nothing as the ten
cents can be deducted from the first order.

A Boston syndicate is operating a
dredge in He'll Gate, New York City,
for the purpose of recovering an alleged
i'm nense amount of gold shipped by the
Governor of Jamaica to the Bank Of
England in vessel called the Bucking-
han in 1872. On account of gale the
vessel had to seek refuge in this port and
tho war of 1912 broke out before she
got away. She tried to make a night
escape through Long Island Sound and
sunk near Flood Rock in He'll Gate. Her
mate escaped and settled in Boston.
After he died a chart was found among
his papers which purported to show
where the Buckingham went down, aud
Il grandson of his is interested In the
present search for her remains. The
dredge is in command of Captain
Symonds, who has recently been search
ing for some of Captain Kidd's buried
treasure near the we'll known Wentworth
