BEST CABINET ORGANS 
AT LOWEST PRICES. 
That the MASON & HAMLIN CABINET and METROl OL- 
ITAN ORGANS are the best in the world is proved by 
the almost unanimous opinion of professional musicians, by 
the award to them of SEVENTY-FIVE GOLD and SILVER 
MEDALS or other highest premiums, at principal industrial 
competitions within a few years, including the MEDAL at 
the PARIS EXPOSITION, and by a sale very much greater 
than that of any similar instruments. This Company manu- 
facture only first-class instriiments, and will not make 
"cheap organs" at any price, or suffer an inferior instrument 
to bear their name. Having greatly increased their facili- 
ties for manufacture, by the introduction of new machinery 
and otherwise, they are now making BETTER ORGANS 
than EVER BEFORE, at increased economy in cost, which, 
in accordance with their fixed policy of selling always at 
least remunerative profit, they are now offering at PRICES 
of INFERIOR WORK. FOUR OCTAVE ORGANS, Plain 
Walnut Case, $50. FIVE OCTAVE ORGANS, Double Reed, 
Solid Walnut Case, carved and panneled, with FIVE STOPS 
(Viola, Diapason, Melodia, Flute, Tremulant), $125._ 
Other styles in proportion.

ings of the different styles of organs, and much information

Profitable Employment for the Winter. 
A good canvasser can find profitable employment in every 
town in the United States, canvassing for 1 the sale of Eume- 
lan Grape-vines 
Every family should have from one to one dozen of these 
vines to produce grapes for their own use, and this variety 
being highly endorsed by the American Agriculturist, the 
Tribune, and by the Farmers' Club, as well as by all the 
leading Horticultural Societies, it will be a very easy matter 
to make sales of the vines, so that any good canvasser can 
make several dollars per day taking orders for the viues.

WALTHAM WATCHES. 
Buyers of watches at retail should be on their guard 
against buying watches represented as "American," and 
which are usually advertised in connection with the words 
"Oroide," "Imitation Gold," and other words calculated 
to attract attention. Nine cases out often such watches are 
spurious, as our genuine movements are seldom, if ever, put 
into anything but solid gold or silver cases. Large numbers 
of these worthless watches bear colorable imitations of our 
trade-marks. To avoid imposition, buyers who do not know 
responsible jewelers should first procure a descriptive cata- 
logue of the different styles of watches made by the Ameri- 
can Watch Company, of Waltham, Mass. The catalogue 
contains, in addition, much useful information to watch- 
buyers. Address

A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and 
Life of the Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel "\V . JoBiiison, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de- 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and

tled "How Crops Feed," in which the subject of the Food 
of the Plant is amplified in all its details, and the atmosphere 
and the soil are fully discussed in their manifold relations to 
the Plant. .

PARSONS ON THE ROSE. 
A Treatise on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
the Rose. Revised and newly electrotyped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel B. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Rose is the only flower that can be said to have a his- 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In his 
work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up the curi- 
ous legends concerning the flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem iu which it was held In former times. A simple 
garden classification has been adopted, and the leading vari- 
eties under each class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are verj' full, and the work is altogether the most complete 
of any before the public.

price by
