The Nootka's whistle is that oi the. old passenger ship Charmer which, at the turn of this cen tury, was the pride of the Canadian Pacific coastal passenger fleet the flagship of the Vancouver-Victoria-Seattle run. iThe epic event of the Charmer's icarcer was when, as the old Premier, she was labelled in the port Of Seattle back in the 90's but was 'spirited out of there by the late coIorfuIlCapt.

Many flowers and vegetables that will give excellent results in the mild and moist climate of England will not do well in Canada, and the same also applies with even more emphasis to the central and southern United States. Also Important with certain things like potatoes, gladiolus and other plants subject to soil carried disease is treatment just previous to planting.
