A BEAUTIFUL GIFT. 
A Picture for the Home Circle, 
DANDELION T 
55 
By MRS. LILLY M. SPENCER. 
The Publishers of the American Agriculturist have 
purchased of the artist this beautiful painting, and have 
issued it as a Chromo, designing thus to enable very 
many to secure it as an ornament and source of 
pleasure in their homes. Mrs. Lilly M. Spencer lias al¬ 
ready won an honorable name in art. Though of a poetic 
imagination, and the author of many paintings which 
comprise classical and allegorical subjects, she is best 
known for her pictures of domestic life. Her works of 
this class have been reproduced in colored lithographs 
and other forms, and through these her name has become 
a familiar one throughout the country. Finding that 
pictures of a domestic character with something of the 
humorous in them were more popular than those to 
which her natural tastes inclined her, Mrs. S. for some 
years painted snc.h subjects almost exclusively. Her 
“ Shake Hands,” “ Jolly Washerwoman,” “ The Gos¬ 
sips,” and others, are known to all lovers of pictures. 
They are full of life and meaning, and at the same time 
finished with an accuracy and detail that few artists 
attempt. Among her latest productions are “ War Times 
at Home,” “The Home of the Red, White, and Blue,” 
“ The Starry Flag,” “Beauty to the Brave,” etc. In the 
beautiful picture now offered, called 
“DANDELION TIME,” 
three children, of whom the youngest is a plump, rosy 
babe, and a huge Newfoundland dog which they have 
decked with a dandelion wreath, are represented out at 
play upon the green grass. This Chromo is done in the 
Lest, style, by Hermann Boncke, whose work equals any 
thing of tire kind done in this country. The scene is full 
of happy life and cannot fail to delight both old and 
young. 
The picture would prove an ornament in any home, 
and 1)0 a most beautiful and acceptable present to make 
to a friend. It is 13X1S inches in size, and mounted on 
linen, will he sent by mail, in a tube, with all materials 
and directions for stretching. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $6.00. 
If preferred, the picture will he sent by express, mount¬ 
ed on artists’ hoard, all ready for framing, on receipt of 
the price, $6.00, the purchaser to pay express charges. 
If ordered in a frame, it will he sent by express, care¬
