American Agriculturist for October
Many plants, such as agaves Century
plants), oleanders, large cactuses, etc
that have grown too large to be accom-
modated in the sitting room or conserva
tory, can be successfully wintered IN any
moderately dry, irost-proof cellar. Aftel
placing these large plants in the cellar
1t will not be necessary to give them any
water, the object being to keep them
dormant all winter, which can be dons
by keeping the soil as dry as possible
but not so dry as TO allow the plants &C
shrivel, or become withered. Large
plants of the kinds mentioned, often
form desirable ornaments during the
summer time. Il is lmpracticAble, in
most cases, to bring them into the house
in winter, but they can be kept for ears
by cellaring them through the winter a.
stated. Large geEanium, SALIVA and he
liotrope roots, and even tea roses, and
carnations. can be kept moderately vel
in the cellar by trenching them IN dry,
or moderately moist sand. Thus many
choice specimens of these plants that
we are 10th to pull up and throw away
when winter approaches, can be success
fully kept over until the next season
1t is q needless expense TO purchase
stock of new plants for the garden eacl
year. when we can winter many of tn
old ones IN this simple and inexpensive
manner. The leaves of all deciduou
plants should be removed before the,
are put away in this Wanner. The fol
iage should remain on the Oleanders an,
carnations through the winter.

Ieled Assortment and an Immense Stock
OF Goods in Their Departments.
We beg to call your attention to the
fact that our Mr.. D. Fox has just re-
termed from New York and other east
ern cities, where he spent two months in
buying and selecting our holiday goods.
These goods are far handsomer and
cheaper than in former years. Our stock
will be fully twice as large as that of
any previous year, and will consist
partly of all kinds, grades and prices of
juvenile, standard aud miscellaneous
books.
Also large ass )rtment of expensive
gift books.
Albums, in endless variety-our own
importation.
All kinds of plush goods. from a
pocket companion to a $50 dressing
case.
InJapanese goods,we shall have many
new and original designs, Including all
the different varieties usually found in
that line.
! In wall ornaments, we have q full line
of wall cabinets, in cherry, oak and
ebony. Also an entirely new line of
wall and bedroom brackets.
Our line of basket goods is simply i'm
mense.
We shall have a full stock of brass,
bronze and nickle goods, including
writing sets, clocks. scOnces, plaques,
bones, tanbourlnes, hand painted, and
many new novelties.
In speaking of our pictures. we say
without fear of contradiction, that it is
the largest line ever offered in the west
In the collection will be found six artist
proof engravings, pastello, oleographs,
colored photographs, and crayon and
water coloring combined. All hand
painted.
Our toy department will have many
new and interesting articles for the little

trashy goods carried by many dealers.
1t has been our aim to combine utility
with beauty, and we believe our patrons
will join with US in saying we have sue
ceeded.
! Ia addition to our regular stock, China
limb dolls, wax and model wax dolls, we
have added a large assortment of the
"Bebe Jane Ann" dolls. These dolls are
almost as perfect as any living child
can be placed in any attitude that achild
can assume. They are very durable, and
much cheaper than heretofore.
We have called attention to only few
of the leading articles in our large stock
and space torbids to enumerate further.
Our jewelry department Is crowded
with all the goods usually found in such
stocks.
We allow no misrepresentation In the
sale of any of our goods.
Knowing that we have the goods. and
guaranteeing that We can sell you good!
as low as the lowes', we hope to be fav'
ored with pleasant call and inspection
