Dear Sirs, — You will be pleased to hear that the forty Telephones you supplied answer admirably, and are of great con- 

 venience, communicating as they do in some cases with our workshops a mile away. 



The simplicity and ease with which they work, being able to be used by any one, and the great advantage over the Telegraph 

 system in rapid communication and recognition of the voice, must create a great demand for Telephones everywhere. — We remain, 

 dear Sirs, yours faithfully, (Signed) J. MAPLE & Co.

A YEAR 



LANCASHIRE GARDEN. 



BY HENRY A. BRIGHT. 



" It is full of admirable suggestions for the practical gardener as to the choice and arrangements of his plants, but 

 it will also be read with interest in the arm-chair in town. It is the story of a year's gardening written by an 

 accompUshed man, whose flowers tell him many stories and pleasant things not to be found in the nursery catalogue."
