"While asking attention to the excellent appearance of the NEW GUIDE, we wish to 

 thank our kind friends who have assisted in its production. Jivvr since its commencement, 

 several years ago, the Guide has been made and printed by the old, well-known House of 

 McCalla & Stavely.who have occupied the same business stand in Philadelphia for upwards 

 of half a century, and are the largest printers of this kind of books in America. It is need- 

 less to say that their name is a guarantee of excellence in every department of their work. 

 A large portion of the fine engraving is done by Messrs. Crosscup & West, Philadelphia, 

 who stand at the head of their profession as wood engravers. For our beautiful cover de- 

 sign, the New Roses, Dianthus Querteri, and se\eral other pieces we are indebted to Miss 

 Ahce Barber, a noted young artist of Philadelphia, who makes the illustration of fine 

 books and magazines a specialty, doing both the Drawing and Engra\ ing — her work is re- 

 markable for originalitv and beautv of tinish.
