REMARKS. 



On Gi ass and Glazing. — The following remarks on the above-named subjects, 

 by the editor of the " Gardeners' Chronicle," I extract from that paper, and 

 should be glad of their insertion in the November Cabinet ; it will be useful to 

 persons about to construct houses the coming winter. A. 



Glass. — If " A Country Gentleman " or " F. G. H." will be so good as to con- 

 sult our advertising columns, they will see that the dealers in foreign glass are 

 Mr. Elphick and Mr. Rahn. He should apply to them. We are sure that his 

 gardener will be glad to learn the use of the diamond, and to be his own glazier 

 in small matters, until the glazier by trade shall come to his senses. The attempt, 

 on the part of the country glaziers and others, to charge the old prices for glass 

 is a most impudent attempt at extortion, and should be effectually put a stop to. 

 They are of opinion that country gentlemen are helpless. As to " F. G. H." 

 being puzzled with glass-cutters' figures, we are not surprised at it; the figures 

 are well suited to puzzle anybody ; but we cannot occupy more time in exposing 

 that system. The foreign glass trade has nothing to do with such devices, and 

 does not dream of charging more and more for any few inches of additional size ; 

 that [is a mere glass-cutters' trick, which we long ago exposed, to the infinite 

 annoyance of our glass-cutting friends. — " J. M." Good foreign sheet-glass is 

 not more blistered than other sheet-glass, all of which has some defects, unless 

 of very superior quality, and it is quite good enough for all common glazing 

 purposes. There is, however, a good deal of difference in the quality of foreign 

 glass, and some is said to te very had; but we have not seen any such. If you 

 want glass as true as plate-glass, then you must go to the home market, and pay 

 English prices. As to the price of English glass, that depends upon your skill 

 as a buyer. In your purchase go to the glass makers themselves, and not glass 

 cutters and retail dealers ; if you cannot make a good bargain with the sellers, 

 ■why go without their material, which will be much cheaper by another season.
