A Stevens 

 rifle or shotgun is 

 a teacher and compan 

 ion all in one, for it not only 

 gives him something to do all 

 the time, but it sharpens his 

 wits, steadies his nerve, and 

 makes him alert and careful. 



It raises his self-respect, for 

 now he can be of greater use, 

 helping to save the crops from 

 crows, woodchucks, rabbits, 

 foxes, or any other of the 

 farmers' foes.

Glowing Red Berries 

 foijhe Winter Landscape 



JAPANESE BARBERRY 



So beautiful is this shrub (Berberis Thnnbcrgii) 

 for winter effect that we again call attention to 

 it. It is incomparably the best plant for winter 

 cheer on the home grounds, holding its brilliant 

 red berries all through the winter, and even until May. 

 in the winter landscape gives such an air of warmth and cosiness 

 as these brilliant red berries against a background of snow, 

 nor can anything exceed the grace with which they hang in 

 long, slender sprays from the branches Most other bright 

 berries are picked off by the birds, but these are never eaten. 



Why not plant a group near the front steps ? Or, better, make a hedge 

 across the front of your grounds. We have an unusually fine stock in 

 heavy plants that have flowered for two years at the following prices : 



Per J4 doz. Per doz. 1 Per */ 2 doz. Per doz.
