THE RICHEST THING OUT! 
CRANDALL’S 
JOHN GILPIN; 
An Illustration of the Fine Old English Ballad, 
JOHN GILPIN’S HIDE. 
This Beautiful and Interesting Toy is considered by 
Mr. C. M. Crandall as the MASTER-PIECE of the many 
inventions he has thus far given to the LITTLE FOLKS. 
It is made up of two figures, John Gilpin—whose highly 
colored dress is specially attractive to Boys and Girls— 
and his horse, which worthy animal performs a very im¬ 
portant part in the jollity of the occasion. The forms 
are almost numberless into which these two figures 
can be made in illustration of the well known old 
Ballad, or independently of that. “JOHN GILPIN,” 
with his hat on, is about 10 inches high ; his Horse is of 
proportionate size. The hundreds of thousands of Boys 
and Girls, who have spent many happy hours with Cran¬ 
dall’s “Blocks,” “Acrobats,” “Menagerie,” and “Ye 
Hero of ’76,” will all want this, his latest invention. 
Each Box, with JOHN GILPIN AND HIS HORSE, 
contains a Large Showbill with many amusing Illustra¬ 
tions, and with the Ballad, “JOHN GILPIN’S RIDE,” 
printed entire. 
Price per Box, $ 1.00 ; by mail , prepaid, $1.35. 
Sold by Toy Dealers generally, and by many others.

A GUIDE TO THE AMATEUR IN THE 
Fruit, Vegetable, and Flower 
Garden, 
WITH FULL DIRECTIONS FOR THE 
Greenhouse, Conservatory, and 
WINDOW GARDEN. 
By PETER HENDERSON, 
AUTHOR OB' “GARDENING FOR PROFIT,” AND “ PRAC¬ 
TICAL FLORICULTURE.” 
ILLUSTRATED. 
It is one of the best guides to window-gardening we 
know of. The fact is, that the number of plants that can 
be successfully grown in window-gardening is very limit¬ 
ed, and though it is possible to make a very large list of 
those which may be grown, if unusual pains be taken, 
the general cultivator wishes only to undertake those 
which promise to be successful with a moderate expendi¬ 
ture of time and attention. The rules to be observed in 
order to succeed with window plants, are very few, and 
the whole story is plainly told .— Christian Advocate ,

VETERINARY ADVISER. 
By Prof. J. LAW,

“We know of no work on the subject in any language 
which, in the same space, embraces so much. Intelligible to 
the meanest understanding and nothing omitted which per¬ 
tains to the most recent investigations and discoveries. We 
certainly have no book like this in Britain.”— Veterinary 
Journal, London.

PRICE, POST-PAID, $15.00. 
This magnificent work is illustrated not only with numer¬ 
ous fine wood-engravings, but also with seventeen full-page 
and seven double-page colored lithographs of places already 
improved. It embodies the results of a long practice in 
landscape architecture and rural adornment, and while its 
teachings are in accordance with the received rules of art, 
they are thoroughly practical in their character. It is one 
of the most elegant, and ought to prove one of the most 
useful works ever issued in the country. The work, botli in 
its letter-press and colored lithographs, is beautifully printed, 
and it is elegantly bound iu beveled boards.
