"A Lost Garden of Eden/' 



Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in a letter to the New 

 York Journal, writes of Jamaica as "The Lost 

 Garden of Eden,'' and wonders "why American 

 men and women spend fortunes in Florida, Cali- 

 fornia or Europe in search of rest or recreation, 

 while here at their doors is one of the loveliest 

 spots on earth, a land of sunshine, fruits and 

 ilowers, an ideal summer or winter resort." 



Jamaica is in the Caribbean Sea, 90 miles south 

 of Cuba, right in tlie path of the Gulf Stream, and 

 directly in the track of the trade winds, A lofty 

 range of mountains, clothed to their peaks with 

 every variety of tropical verdure, extends nearly 

 the entire length of the island, diversified witli 

 lovely valleys, beautiful canons, and broad 

 plateaus. A famed traveller states in '-Tlie 

 Handbook of Geography." "In the character and 

 variety of its scenery, in its botanical resources 

 of rare plants, foliage, fruits and flowers, also in 

 its delightful, almost changeless climate, Jamaica 

 stands without a peer." The thermometer indi- 

 cates the year around from 70- to 85-. There is 

 all the time a soothing, restful, balmy atmos- 

 phere. The unpleasant features incident to 

 many tropical countries — such as fevers, malaria, 

 frogs, mosciuitoes. flies, venomous reptiles, and 

 insects — are almost unknown there. Well-kept 

 modern hotels, srood boarding-houses, at almost 

 anv desired rate" for living, are found in any of 

 the towns and villages. Smooth, hard, well-kept 

 roads and by-paths extend in every direction. 

 Splendid white sandy beaches, and the delicious 

 warm waters of the Gulf Stream, make the finest 

 sea bathing on the continent. Teachers, desiring 

 a resting place from their wearying duties, and 

 besides, one constant object-lesson in .botany, 

 geology, geography, and astronomy, can find on 

 everv hand somrething to interest and instruct. 

 The' United Fruit Company's splendid -Ad- 

 miral'' steamers sail from Boston every Wednes- 

 day and Fridav, making a delightful sea voyage 

 of 'rive days. 'Also excellent passenger service 

 every week from Philadelphia and Baltimore.
