found brief notes in reference to them, but the pictures can be trusted. The artist has been 
generous with bright colors, but none too generous ; and though the painted flowers are glow- 
ing and attractive they cannot equal the delicacy of nature. y dahlia offer, as indicated on 
the colored plate, is a very interesting one. All are novelties of great merit.
