D bunch OF marguerites, and on the other
3 bunch, or bouquet, of honeysuckles. 1t

produced. The panel of marguerites
is remarkable for reIiefs of color and a

have pleasure in thus directing atten-
lion to a character OF art-work that is
new in Memphis, nut which in the
north SIS well as in Europe has many
thousands OF admirers.
