in company with a good collection of Tea roses tliat shared the same 
fate. They had, however, taught us a lessou, aud that we hand over 
to all whom it may concern. 
It is quite certain that any rose-grower, who has a warm 
wall and a dry border, may secure two crops of bloom every season 
from any of the yellow Noisette and Tea ro.ses. Start them early, 
protect the jmung growth while spring frosts prevail ; let the un- 
pruned wood produce its dowers, tlien set it back aud get an autumn 
bloom from the shoots of the season ; or treat the spurs as apple and 
pear spurs which continue fruitful, and instead of cutting out the 
wood which produced them, shorten in the spurs to one or two buds 
as soon as the first bloom is over, and so cause them to renew tlieni- 
selves and flower again the same season. 
The yellow Noisettes of less vigorous habit, should, except in the 
most favoured localities, be grown under glass. Le Pactole, a fine 
yellow, requires a warm wall, but does better under glass, and makes 
a good pot-plant. Cornelia Koch, delicate straw colour, aud Smith’s 
Yellow, lemon-colour or yellowish straw, are good forcing roses, but 
of little use out of doors. The best way to manage them as pdt- 
plants is to train them spirally. They should be on their own 
roots to make nice plants. The following forgotten Noisettes 
have been carefully grown at Stoke Newington, aud may be recom- 
mended to rosarians who sigh for a satiety of yellow roses : — Clara 
Wendel, fawn with yellow centre ; must be grown under glass. 
Vitellina, colours mixed as in Juuue Desprez, but occasionally the 
yellow predominates ; a vigorous grower, and flowers well after a 
hot season. S. H. 
A RUSTIC PLANT-HOUSE. 
N the interest of our readers, we have considered it de- 
sirable to direct special attention to a combined plant- 
house and smoking-room recently erected in the garden 
of Stamford House, Stoke Newington, the residence of 
J. T. Pickburn, Esq. Preliminary to a description of 
this structure, of which two illustrations are given, it is necessary to 
say that Stamford House is one of the grand old mansions that now 
remain of the once rural and delightful village of Stoke Newington. 
At one time it commanded views of patches of cornfields, belts of 
woodland aud flowery meadows, and a grand panorama, comprising, 
amongst other special features, the silvery windings of the Lea and 
the densely- wooded heights of Epping Eorest. But now it is 
crowded up by the extension of the great Metropolis, and although 
it still commands pleasant prospects, it has become a town-house, 
comfortably screened from the noise and dust of the surrounding 
traffic by an ample extent of garden. The building itself is some- 
what plain, although noble in appearance ; but the entrance-court 
is, we are bound to say, one of the very best of its kind. The
