CLOSING OUT BARGAINS. 



Read Them All Over Carefully, and Make up Your Order 

 Quick if They Interest You- 



I offer a few wholesale bargains this month that cannot fail to interest any live collector who 

 has an opportunity to sell to other collectors or friends. 



PURPLE SEA FERNS. These gorgeous 

 Purple Sea Ferns always attract attention in a 

 dealers stock. We have a fine lot on hand, 

 which we offer at one tenth regular value. 

 Three foot specimens at $1.00 per dozen or four 

 foot specimens at $1.80 per dozen. 



RED EARS. These big red ears from Cali- 

 fornia, are big value at my price. When 

 polished they bring from $1.50 to $3.00 each. I 

 offer six to seven inch specimens at $1.00 dozen 

 or immense big ones at $1.80 dozen. 



COWRIES, Money and Ring Top. These 

 cowries are much sought for as curios and are 

 manufactured into jewelry. The Money is 

 still used in barter with many African tribes.

 gallon. They are fine perfect live shells, all of 

 them, fit for cabinet.

 a fine lot of these at low prices. I have three
