The Successful Puysician.
.There is probabiy no man to whom tbe
community owe so much as to the honest,fair-spoken
physician, who does his actual duty
! both to himself and to his patients. Really
I skillful physicians are not so numerous that
their virtues need no mention, and hence
the advertisement of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, may well claim the reader's attention,
j Dr. Pierce is a type of a class of men who
obtain success by careful snd well-directed
| effort, not attempting too much, or creatiug
false ideas as to ability. The only reliable
physician in these days of complicated disor-ders
and high pressure living is the "special-ist,"
the man who understands his one branch
of the business. Such in his line is Dr.Piorce.
For the benefit of his readers he has written
a "Common Sense Medical Adviser," which
is well worth reading by those who need
such a work. With strict business honor,high
professional skill, reasonable fees, and a large
corps of complete assistants, Dr." Pierce will
doubtless make his name familiar as ' 'house-hold
words.

To have early flowers yon will start your
plants in doors, unless you are so fortunate
as to have a hot bed. About the 10th of
March is plenty early to plant seeds in doors,
and the 20th of March is plenty early to start
youf hot bed. Experience in testing many
kinds of annuals for past ten years gives me
confidence in recommending the following
CHOICE ANNUALS
which will give general'satisfaction and a pro-fusion
of flowers from June to October.
No. 1. Ageratnm Mexicanum is a useful
bedder and fine for cut flowers. Plants do
well separate, or for borders and beds, they
bloom from middle of June until frost comes.
They also make fine pot plants for the house.
Colors blue, white and salmony rose, and are
eighteen inches high. Plants should stand
ten inches apart, and will do well in any good
soil.
No. 2. Antirrhinium or Snap Dragon, a
pretty class of plants with fine foliage, flow-ers
from August to October, in every con-ceivable
shade of showy colors. Plants are
from ten to twenty inches high, and should
stand one foot apart. The roots can be pot-ted
for the house in winter, and put out to
bloom the next spring and you wiU have an
early show of flowers.
No. 3. Asters are one of the oldest favor-ites,
and should be in every collection. The
Truffant's Pseony Perfection embiaoe eighteen
distinct colors. This strain of French Aster
is the finest of all the aster tribe, and is a
strong robust grower, and produces an abnnd-toorotlafga
