Calendars, &C., Received.

We are indebted to Mr.. VIM. P. Trmble, agent
of the the Liverpool Royal Fire ms. Co., for
two very useful calendars. They are convent
emily arranged for hanging on the library wall
and the figures denoting the days of the month
are SO large as to suit the oldest eyes, and thus
insure US against all mistakes.
The Massachusetts, Mutual Life Insurance
Co. sends US calendar for the year 1890,
every page of which, did time and space per-
NIT, would receive special and well.merited
praise. 1t is really q work of art and ia re-
markable even in this age of beautiful calen-
dars.
Mr.. j. Lawrence Ady, of California, has our

pliments of the season.

aminer, A pages, the Sunday Chronicle, 40 pages,

tifully illustrated publication, full of excel
lent reading matter.
Mr.. w. A. Groom, of Stockton, CAL, also has

lions it is like everything that comes from that
WOUucTlul COUNTY,. llb lOiLy-lOuE "ClfhiICu
pages contain pictures of San Francisco from
its earliest days in 1s49 to its immense size and
development in 1889, and even dips into the
future and tells us what shall be in the year
1899.
A. S. Abel and Co., of the Baltimore Sun,
send out to all subscribers to the Daily and
Weekly Sun, the ''Sun Almanac" for 1890, as
New Years Gift, and valuable one it is. Be-
sides the accustomed features the Almanac de-
votes considerable space to the exception ally
stirring events of the past year, including ma
tional and political changes, popular celebra-
lions, both religious and secular, and the over
whelming disasters which have occurred in all
parts of the world. The statistical part of the
work includes the election returns of States
which in the past year have made an unusual
record. The Sun Almanac for 1890 is, perhaps,
more full and complete than any Of its prede-
cessors, and this is saying great deal for it.
We have received from Peter Henderson q
Co., IS & 81 Cortlandt st., N. Y, his Manual of
Everything in the Garden and "Peter Hender-
sons American Farmers Manual' for 1890.
To those who have patronized Peter Hender-
son for quarter Of century it is needless to
say anything, but to those who may be led to
do so through this notice, we would say his
seeds are thoroughly reliable. His roses and
butterfly pansies promise this year to be unusu-
ally fine.
James Wick, scotsman, Rochester, New
York, sends US the seasons greeting in the form
of his Floral Guide for 1890. The cover design
is new and beautiful and the contents as fresh
and attractive as the face of the little lassie on
the first page, who stands near fence garland
ID with flowers, and gives us the compliments
Of the season. Lovers of flowers can find no
better guide to their culture than Wick and we
advise our friends to send 10 cents for Che
Guide, (Which can be deducted from the first
order) to James Wick, scotsman, S43 East Ave
uue Rochester NJ Y.
