MRS. SAGE'S GENEROUS GIFT
BaMiar a Lonar Barren Spot In
Central Park with Collection
of Shrabberr.
Announcement has been made by Henry
Smith, pretldent of the park department
of New York, that tyrs. Russell Sage had
presented to Central park "a collection of
rhododendron!, sufficient to form a plan
tation a mile lone at a cost of 160,000. The
plants are nearly all set out and many
of them are now In bloom along the west
side of the east drive between Sixty-eighth
and 106th street.
Mrs. Base has been deeply Interested ta
Central park for many years, and racently
she observed that because of the dens
shade cast by the trees along the east
drive the grass had been killed. Then she
Informed Mr. Smith that she would pur
chase a collection of rhododendrons and
have them planted,-without expense to the
city. At the time Mr. Smith was In a
quandary as to his ability to Improve the
bare stretch of a mile, and the offer, which
relieved his mind, was promptly accepted.
The hydrlds, which line the driveway,
were brought trom Belgium in two largo
shipments, while the maximums, which
are plar.ted on the side nearest to the
bridle path, were collected In this country.
The plants when In full bloom will mak
a magnificent display, and will remain
green throughout the winter.
Mr. Smith spoke enthusiastically of Mrs.
Saga's gift, which' he has decided to call
the Saga Plantation.
"It was a splendid present," ' he said,
"and when the work Is done Cerjtral park
will have the most beautiful exhibit of
rhododendrons In the I'nlted States, If not
In the entire world. It will require nearly
76,000 of the shrubs to cover the allotted
area, and the cost will be about toO.OOG.
The tract which the plantation is to occupy
has been a problem for a long time, but
through Mrs. Sage's generosity the question
has been solved In an opulent manner that
will give infinite pleasure to hundreds
of thousands of visitors to the park."

This great Cloak and Suit House will place on sale Rosenberg & Co.'s one of New
York's largest Shirt Waist manufacturers entire stock of high grade Shirt Waists, which

This great cash purchase was a tremendous undertaking and will be greatly com
mented on by all our competitors to buy such an immense stock right now when the
shirt waist business is almost at a standstill, on account of the recent cool and rainy
weather, but that's the very reason why this great shirt waist manufacturer was anxious
to unload and offered his entire stock at a great sacrifice. Mr. J. B. Orkin, our resident
New York buyer, could not stand the temptation,' as we have always handled this line and
know that they are the best and cleanest made waists in America.

lingeries, and trimmed with best laces or embroideries. There is not a pretty style that
