There are no radical changes from our models of the present year. 
Although one of the oldest makers of motor cars in this country, our 
early principles of design have been consistently adhered to, with bet¬ 
terments and refinements of detail based on experience. The soundness 
of our conservative course is proved by the eminent success of The 
Autocar and its unexampled record for Reliability.

There is a whole lot of good cheer and 
happiness in anticipation, and there is no 
time better than now for the gardener to 
plan for the coming year. A friend who 
used to invest in the old Louisiana Lot¬ 
tery, but who never drew anything, never 
allowed a drawing to take place before he 
purchased a ticket for the succeeding 
scheduled drawing, and in explanation 
of that course said that he always had 
something to look forward to—that he 
lived in anticipation of drawing a prize 
in the next event. Aside from the actual 
pleasure of growing and having flowers 
there is nothing quite so satisfactory as 
planning for the next season. The suc¬ 
cessful florist does this. 
I do not know of more beautiful 
flowers for winter bloom than carnation 
pinks. It is easy to have them in abun¬ 
dance by purchasing from a reliable 
florist strong, field-grown clumps. If 
these are in good condition when re¬ 
ceived, they will bloom very soon after 
being potted and will continue to bloom 
as long as kept in growing condition. 
There are many colors, but if necessary 
to limit the variety perhaps the most sat¬ 
isfactory would be the deep rose pink and 
the pure white. The individual taste, 
however, should determine this. 
The fuchsia, freesia, and heliotrope 
are also splendid winter bloomers, and 
with proper care can be kept in bloom 
from early fall until spring. 
If you want sweetness as early as May, 
plant in December and cover through the 
winter with mulch or barn litter. 
When the ground freezes hard cover 
the bulb-beds with three or four inches 
of leaves or litter mulch and remove in 
the early spring. Too early and heavy 
covering starts the tops prematurely and 
the plants are liable to injury in March 
by alternate freezing and thawing. 
Half-hardy roses, in a northern cli¬ 
mate, should be protected in the winter 
months. A good protection is coal 
ashes. When winter proper sets in—in 
December or January, according to 
locality—heap ashes about the plants 
and cover with straw or short boards to 
turn the surplus water, and let the cover¬ 
ing remain until there is no longer danger 
of frost. Mildew or fungous diseases 
often result from improper protection
