CANARIES. 
Mr. Louis Ruhe, importer of Birds and Rare Animals, 98 Chatham St., 
New York, begs to inform his customers and the trade in general that his 
first this season’s importation of 
GERMAN HARTZ MOUNTAIN CANARIES, 
will arrive August 20th. This importation will be followed by 
REGULAR WEEKLY SHIPMENTS, 
during the entire season from now to May, 1875. To buyers for cash I 
offer this year a discount of five per cent. on my lowest wholesale price ; 
to customers paying promptly within thirty days, two and a half per cent. 
No discount will be allowed to any buyer neglecting to settle his bills 
within thirty days. First-class references will be required of new cus- 
tomers asking credit. The good reputation my firm enjoys requires no 
further comment. Respectfully, 
LOUIS RUHE. 



HOMING ANTWERPS. 
My stock of this remarkable pigeon is bred from birds imported by 
Mr. O. S. Hubbell, and selected for him in Belgium from the most success- 
ful cotes by Mr. Baily, of London, regardless of expense. Some single 
specimens of winning birds, costing in Belgium $60 in gold, all of which 
had accomplished their 600 miles of homeward flight. These are not the 
short-beaked birds of the English show pen, but are the real Homing 
Antwerps of the continent, from whence (via London) they were im- 
ported. I can furnish them in two colorings, either Blue or Silver Dun. 
Price from $10 to $15 per pair. JOS. M. WADE, Philadelphia, Pa.
