REMARKS. 



On superb Calceolarias. — Observing a paragraph in your December number 

 of the Cabinet, from one of your Irish subscribers, wishing for a plate of some 

 of the best Calceolarias ; perhaps, in the mean time, the following list of that 

 beautiful class will not be unwelcome to him. These I have grown myself 

 with gieat success, and can strongly recommend them to all lovers of the plant.

 Germany, from which I have great hopes of raising some new varieties, which I 

 shall be happy to forward to you if successful.
