cADDY FROM BARD,s TREE
Tea Chest Made Of Mulberry Wood
= from Great Poets Home Said to
E < Be Finest of Collection.

New York.-Relics made from the
mulberry tree which Shakespeare
planted at his home, New Place, STRAIT.
ford-on-Avon, have been sold at auc.
ton, with the library Of the late Fred.
erick s. Tallmadge.
Mr.. Tallmadge was an enthusiastic
collector of Shakespeareana. He OBJ.
tanned many things from the libraries
of William E. Burton, the comedian
and Richard Grant White.
The most interesting Of the mulber
~ tree relics Is a tea caddy, II inches
long, six and one-half high, and seven
wide. On the top, in high relief, are
the arms Of Shakespeare, and on the
front is his bust.
The top and sides are ornamented
with mulberry trees. The lid is lined
with dark green velvet, bordered with
gold lace.
The caddy is divided into three com.
partments, containing cases with slid
ing lids, two bearing representations
of the mulberry tree, and the third e
full length carving of the Schemakel
statue.
When Shakespeare's home came into
the possession Of Rev. Francis Gastrell
he demolished what was left of the
building and cut down the mulberry
tree, which man named Thomas
Sharp made into relics.
The tea caddy bears Sharp's stamp
Mr.. Tallmadee bought the caddy a.
the Burton sale 45 years ago. Burton
bought it Of Henry Rodd, Londor
book seller, who thought the design
was by Hogarth, land that the tea cad
dy was the finest specimen extant o.
the mulberry tree relics. Many Judge,
agree with this opinion.
Mr.. Tallmadge's collection also con
tains two goblets, carved from thi1
same tree.
