OBITUARY. 
Edwin Bixby, secretary of Wood- 
land Cemetery, Ironton, Ohio, died 
Aug. i6, aged 77 year. Mr. Bixby was 
the founder of Woodland Cemetery, 
he being appointed by the city coun- 
cil in January, 1871, to purchase the 
present cemetery site, and was chosen 
secretary of the first cemetery board, 
which position he held till his death, 
a period of 35 years. During his time 
he was never required to give bond, 
as he held .the utmost confidence of 
the city and community. Much of 
the beauty of Woodland Cemetery is 
due to his untiring energy and care- 
ful painstaking labor. Mr. Bixby was 
a jeweler by trade and for over 50 
years has conducted the leading jew- 
elry store in Ironton. His son Frank 
succeeds him as secretary of the 
cemetery.

A NEW REMARKABLE CAROLINA 
MOUNTAIN PLANT 
STENANTHIllVl ROBISTIIVI or Mountain Feather fleece 
This remarkable hardy perennial is, without a doubt, one of our best 
new introductions, and may be clas.sed with the showiest of all herbaceous 
plants. As the buds begin to un/old in early August they are quite upright, 
and a light green tinge, gradually becoming whiter until at last they hurst 
forth into a veritable snowbank of drooping, fleecy bloom of purest white, 
the ps nicies often 2 to 3 feet tong. In .September the flowers, as they ripen, 
turn to sha les of pink and purple. It is a vigorous perennial, attaining a 
height of 5 to 8 feet when well established, and is absolutely hardy 
throughout the United States and Canada. 
T.ie MounUiin heather Fleece is of easy cultivation, and if given plenty 
of f jod, makes a wonderful show equaled by few plants of any description. 
The illustration gives some idea ofthe wonderful effect of Stenanthium 
when in full bloom, but inadequately conveys the beauty of the delicate, 
feathered, drooping flowers. When known, will be planted by thousands.
