The material used in the manufacture of these goods is of the best quality, and the -workmanshipis not excelled, if equaled, by any other concern in the country. ^ , ■ ., ,_■„„ „„ Ohiections are made to iron for vases, that they draw the heat of the sun, consequently drying upthe earth, that they rest on the inside, thus killing the roots of the plants, and that they require pamt-•ine every year. These great objections are entirely overcome by our Stone Vases, of which we havea large variety of patterns. They are beautiful in design, they retain the moisture of the earth, theyrequire no painting, and best of all they cost but little more than half as much as iron. Hundreds ofthese Vases are now in this city, on the finest lawns, and in cemetery lots, which for yf^rs have with-stood the frosts of winter, and the heat of summer. Every dollar that is expended )iuliciously foi theornamentation of grounds, add thrice the amount to its valuation. , ., ^ , .„„ . ,„^ ^^-.^
