     To-day, the Island of Prince Edward which Cartier declared 
     
     “the fairest that may possibly be seene,” still delights. To the 
     
     natural charm has long since been added that brought by 
     
     cultivation. Set in the midst of the silver sea, with its wealth 
     
     of verdure and smiling fields, the Island presents a sub-tropical 
     
     appearance. The air redolent of the fragrance of grasses and 
     
     flowers, the shining waters, and all the dreaminess of a Lotus— 
     
     land, invite the tourist. Its hospitable people are ready to 
     
     welcome increasing numbers of visitors. The great hotel must 
     
     come, and with the good work of introducing modern ideas 
     
     and improvements continued, the prosperity of this Ocean 
     
     Garden Island is assured.
