Herr Jellenik named his first famous success m honor of one of his daugh¬ 
ters, “Mercedes.” His newest creation, embodying every improvement 
that time and trial have wrought under his skill—his latest and crowning 
achievement—he has named for another daughter, Fraulein Maja Jellenik, 
the “Maja Car. 
If you could buy a “Mercedes for about tbe price of 
a good American car, would it interest you? Maja was 
brought into existence so that tbe Daimler works, makers 
of Mercedes, may sell tbeir product direct to users, 
at factory prices, eliminating tbe enormous profits of 
middlemen and agents, bringing tbeir famous cars in 
reach of all lovers of good automobiles. 
Maja is now ready for demonstration. Worth a trip to New York.

disease, with good colored foliage, and 
they bear when they are so absurdly 
small that they are a constant delight to 
the good folk who must have a garden 
that is ever “ up and doing. ” Moreover, 
they bear freely and regularly and the 
nuts are sound and meaty, not bad when 
boiled, but uninteresting and flat aaIicu

be a field for the Japanese in the making 
of marrons glaces or similar confections,

A UNIQUE MOUNTAIN PARK IN RIVER¬ 
SIDE, CALIFORNIA 
/^NE of the most beautiful places in 
Southern California is Riverside, 
and in a letter recently received from Mr. 
C. M. Loring, who is known as the father 
of the Minneapolis Park system, and 
who some years ago became interested 
in Riverside where he planted a long 
street of shade trees, he says the people 
there have taken a great deal of interest 
in tree planting and home embellish¬ 
ment. He says; “The street trees are 
under the care of a forester, Mr. J. H. 
Reed, who has been so successful that 
delegations come to him from other 
cities to learn his methods. I'he city 
is fortunate in having within its borders 
a rugged mountain, Rouhidoux Moun¬ 
tain, about a mile long, half a mile wide, 
and with an elevation of 1,372 feet, for 
which the citizens raised a fund for its 
purchase and improvement as a public 
park. Since its acquirement one of the 
finest mountain roads that could be built 
has been graded to the summit, from 
which the views are grand beyond de¬ 
scription. In no other city within my 
knowledge is there another such‘"a park. 
On the sides of this boulder covered 
mountain the City Forester has planted 
some ten thousand trees of several varie¬ 
ties, and over a thousand palms, and 
there are yet to be planted hundreds of 
yuccas, cacti and other interesting desert 
plants near the summit, above the line of 
city water pipes.”— Park and Cemetery. 
European houses are offering a golden 
leaved form of the Dimorphanthus mand- 
shuricus. The Dimorphanthus is closely 
allied to aralia, and it can be well under¬ 
stood how beautiful a golden-leaved form 
of it must be.— Florists^ Exchange.
