We had occasion to refer to Mr. Ransome's improvements in artificial stone-work for vases, edgings, and statuary. We here call attention to a new style of decoration in connection with plant culture, namely, to Mr. Stevens' new Glass Mosaic Flower Pots, as most elegant ornaments for the reception of plants in the drawing-room. The glass mosaic is introduced in panels of pure white polished cement, and the "pots" are made after various beautiful forms, the mosaic being of many elegant patterns, which wo can only compare to the endless forms seen in the kaleidoscope. The pots arc lined with sheet zinc, either to hold another pot, or 6oii for plants, or to contain water, as a vase for the reception of cut flowers. They are, in fact, the most beautiful things of the kind that we ever saw, and, when more generally known, will win universal admiration. On a stand, as a window ornament, there can be no more attractive object. Mr. Stevens is deserving of great commendation for such a happy idea as the application of glass mosaic-work, remarkable for its rich and costly appearance, to the embellishment of flower pots.

We would recommend our lady amateurs to inspect the stock at the manufacturer's premises, No. 56 Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn, being assured they will not fail to be delighted with so elegant an article for the reception of their drawing-room pets. - London Florist.
