A Golden Nugget. 



A strange novelty is this golden table 

 corn, with its beautiful rich cream col- 

 or. It is claimed by those who know 

 it that it is very sweet, early and tender 

 and a superior' corn. We notice Vick 

 reconuneuds it very highly. The Flor- 

 al Guide, which coiiies to us, bringing 

 a boquet of Carnations on the front 

 cover, with a- splendid bunch of Bril- 

 liant Poppies on the back, gives full de- 

 scription of this new corn, which is only 

 15 cents a packet. Vick's Floral Guide 

 is wortliy a place in the home of anyone 

 who expects to make a garden the com- 

 ing spring: By all means send ten 

 cents to James V^kk's Sons, Rochester, 

 N. Y., for the Giude, and yon can de- 

 duct this amount from your first or- 

 der. It will pay 3"ou well.

A Quarter of a Century has elaps- 

 ed since Lippincott's Magazine was ffrst 

 presented to the reading public. By 

 adding new and original features it has 

 kept in advance of the times, and now 

 occupies a unique position among mag- 

 azines. It was the tirst to abandon the 

 use of serial stories, and by publishing 

 a complete novel in each number, the 

 Magazine has wonderfully increased in 

 popularity. The January number ('92) 

 contains a remarkable novel, dealing 

 with newspaper life, entitled "THE 

 PASSING OF MAJOR KILGORE," by 

 Young E. Allison, late Managing editor 

 of the Louisville Courier-Journal. A 

 series of articles on Athletics also com- 

 menced in the January number. The 

 initial article on "Boxing" by Daniel L, 

 Dawson, illustrated. The articles will 

 be prepared by cxi^erts in such sports 

 and exercises as Rowing, Fencing, Base 

 Ball, Cricket, Walking, Swimming, 

 Archery, Tennis, Foot-Ball, Riding, 

 Sailing, Golf, La Crosse, Polo, Wheel- 

 ing, Curling, etc., as well as articles on 

 Ph3'sical Training and In-Door Exercis- 

 es. New Talent will be heartily en- 

 couraged as heretofore, and writers 

 from every section of the country will 

 be represented in the pages of Lippin- 

 cott's during 1892. A series of articles 

 dealing with reminiscences of men fa- 

 mous in our i)olitical history, and giv- 

 ing hitherto un})nblished correspond- 

 ence, will form a feature. A Dejjart- 

 ment entitled "As it seems, treating 

 of topics of timely interest, Avill from a 

 valual)le feature during the year. It 

 would be impossible to mention in 

 detail the wealth of material that 

 has been secured for the ensuing year 

 in the shape of Shoi-t Stories, Essays, 

 Poems, etc. 25 cents, single number. 

 $3.00 per year.
