BLOCK TIN PIPE.—Tills article has now been in use 
for the past four years, and is daily growing in public favor, 
being heartily indorsed by all the lead¬ 
ing chemists and physicians in the coun¬ 
try, also the Water Commissioners of 
New York, Brooklyn, and Boston. Our 
recent improvements in the manufacture 
insure a most perfect article, which can¬ 
not fail to lie fully appreciated. The ad¬ 
vantages of lead pipe witli a perfectly 
pure block tin lining for the convey¬ 
ance of water is well understood; 'it 
gives the fad pliability of the Lead with 
the pureness of the Tin. The resisting power of Block Tin 
being about five times greater than Lead, we arc enabled to 
furnish a pipe stronger than Lead, one-half its weight, at 
about the same cost per running foot, which insures a per- 
feelly safe water pipe for domestic use. To furnish cost per 
foot give the head or pressure of water and bore of pipe. 
The American Agriculturist and the press generally 
recommend this pipe.

IIORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING- BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast, it contains no POISOM 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos¬ 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHOLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In “ raising ” the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose flour, but adds nutriment to the bread, 
aiid otherwise improves it in quality and quantitv. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask vour Grocer for “ Horsford’s

A TREATISE ON THE 
Propagation, Culture, and History 
of the Rose. 
By SAMUEL B. PARSONS. 
NEW AND REVISED EDITION. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The Rose is the only flower that can be said to have a 
history. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. 
In his work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up 
tlie curious legends concerning tlie flower, and gives us 
an idea of the esteem in which it was held in former 
times. A simple garden classification has been adopted, 
and the leading varieties under each class enumerated 
and briefly described. The chapters on multiplication, 
cultivation, and training, are very full, and the work is 
altogether the most complete of any before the public. 
The following is from the author’s Preface :— 
“In offering a new edition of this work, the prepara¬ 
tion of which gave us pleasure more than twenty years 
ago, we have not only carefully revised the garden classi¬ 
fication, but have stricken out much of the poetry, which 
to tlie cultivator may have seemed irrelevant, if not worth¬ 
less. For the interest of the classical scholar we have 
retained much of the early history of the Rose, and its 
connection with the manners and customs of tlie two 
great nations of a former age. 
“The amateur will, we think, find the labor of selec¬ 
tion much diminished by the increased simplicity of the 
mode we have adopted, while the commercial gardener 
will in nowise he injured by tlie change. 
“In directions for culture, we give the results of our 
own experience, and have not hesitated to avail our¬ 
selves of any satisfactory results in the experience of 
others, which might enhance the utility of tlie work.”
