RURAL CARDS AND CALENDARS.
In Britain we must anticipate Christmas by an egregious margin, if for no other reason, because the Empire is so far-flung. So Christmas cards and diaries are already pro-; duced. The latest calendar is issued by the Roads Beautifying Association, who have closely imitated the very beautiful calendar produced last year by that admirable organization " the Men of the Trees," who now also issue a tree Magazine. The calendar (published from 34 Chandos House, Palmer Street, Westminster, at 5s.) is sold for the benefit, of the work of planting trees alongside the roads ; and its pictures give characteristic views of England through the twelve months. Both the Norfolk Naturalists Trust and the R.S.P.B. have published paintings of birds as Christmas cards ; and for the sake of many correspondents may I say that the Norfolk goldfinch—a lovely bird—can be had from Dr. Long, Surrey Street, Norwich ? It appears that many letters have heal sent to Surrey Street, in London.
