Our Victoria Prize Calceolarias have beaten all others in nearly every competition where we have staged them, Including the great Show at the 
Crystal Palace in 1883. The size and brilliancy of colouring of the flowers is equally extraordinary. We have again selected some remarkable types of 
beanty, and the new seed we have this year grown, and now offer, will be certain to produce some novel and beautiful forms ; especially remarkable 
are the new Japanese varieties, as shown in the Illustration, and we would explain here that the derignation “ Japanese ” does not denote their origin, 
but is intended to describe the delicate and eccentric markings of the Flowers, which so closely resemble Japanese Art Fabrics.
