the foliage is bright green, setting off 
the berries to great advantage. It is 
a beautiful bush, as our photograph 
shows. Though its leaves are not of 
the same thick texture as those of 
Euonymus Japonicus, yet like this 
evergreen it has been found to do 
well at the seashore. There is some- 
thing in the moisture of the coast most 
helpful toward the well-doing of these 
plants, in the winter season especially. 
Our other photograph represents a 
wild shrub of our sandy shores and 
river sides, the Baccharis halimifolia. 
It is hardy over a great extent of 
country. In this vicinity it is found 
along the shores of the Delaware 
river, extending thence to the sea- 
coast, where it grows close to the 
shore on sandy wastes. It does just 
as well cultivated, as our illustration 
shows, the plant growing in private 
grounds near Philadelphia. The pho- 
tograph was taken in early October, 
but it continues attractive all through 
November, for after awhile the seeds 
form and the pappus becomes loose 
and spreading, so that each head looks 
like cotton. In this stage of its dis- 
play it is thought just as attractive 
as when in flower, hence it is properly- 
classed as one of the November 
shrubs.

“irSASIZZLER” 
The second day of September, 
Mr. William Rhodes of Leech- 
burg, Pa., wrote for our catalog 
of Hot Bed Sash and Frames. 
At the bottom of the letter was 
this P. S. 
“Our No. 630 ‘Burnham’ Boiler is a SIZZLER. 
Talk about heating, why we had to keep the fire 
door open most of the 'time last winter to keep 
steam from getting too high.’’ 
Now why is it a “sizzler’’? — why a boiler of record breaking 
economy? This just printed catalog of ours, tells. Not in the 
usual dry boiler talk way, but in a regular showing up of point 
after point, exactly as you would want to know when putting your 
dollars in one. It’s a good kind of catalog to have
