are  several  varieties  adapted  to  your  soil  and  climate.

and  true-to-name.  Packed  fresh  for  shipment.  Jji

The  United  States  .submarine  E-2.  ly¬ 
ing  in  Dry  dock  No.  2  of  the  New  York 
Navy  Yard,  was  wrecked  by  a  heavy  in¬ 
ternal  explosion  Jail.  15.  Four  men.  one 
enlisted  and  three  civilian,  were  killed. 
Four  sailors  and  six  yard  workmen  were 
injured.  The  E-2  was  equipped  with 
the  new  Edison  storage  batteries,  and 
the  explosion,  the  cause  of  which  is 
unknown,  was  at  first  credited  to  them. 
No  external  damage  was  done,  and  navy 
yard  officials  rejected  all  suspicion  of  a 
plot  against,  the  vessel.

rapidly  did  the  flames  spread  that  all 
the  archives,  included  many  historic  docu¬ 
ments,  some  of  them  in  the  handwriting 
of  George  Washington,  were  horned.  The 
building  cost  $75,000. 
The  cotton  storage  plant  and  tank 
houses  of  the  Atlas  Powder  Company 
at  Mount  Carbon,  Pa.,  were  destroyed  by

to  keep  the  flames  from  the  acid  house 
and  magazines,  where  $120,000  worthy  of 
guncotton  was  stored.  The  fire  origi¬
