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. , ., ^ , .„„ . ,„^ ^^-.^
