and bank officials in Wilmington and

accounts. All the State securities
were produced, excepting the five
thousand dollar bond of Sussex

since the "little tin box" scandal was

Fruits and Flowers.


Among the fruit and flower novelties
which 1896 brings us, we notice that the
enterprisiug and reliable firm Of James
Vick's Sous, Rochester, N. Y, are already
calling attention to three, which seem TO
have won great favor where known. They
are the Double Sweet Pea, the only one in
the world true to name, bride of Niagara, &"
the early Leader Tomato" earliest Of all
the early tomato family and sure to become
a great favorife. and the already famous
Blackberry, the "Rathbun,"
From thepraise and compliments given so
sbuudaptly TO the "Bride of Niagara, #" this
sweet pea must be more than charmisg and
from the encomiums laYished on both the
new tomato and this new blackberry, it is
pretty certain no garden desiring to have the
FIRST sed best of every thing, can be without
these three new Corners.
By the nay, readers, are any of you SO far
behind the times as not to knox Wick IS
Floral Guide?" If any of you have never
seen it, send 10 cents to this firm at Rochester
