THE GARDENING WORLD 
March 14, 1896. 
1 No,’ answered the man shortly. I glanced round, 
and saw a tall, slender girl, dressed in black. There 
was something so pathetic in the white face and 
quivering lip as she turned to leave the shop, that I 
felt—tho'ugh dreadfully short of cash at the time— 
as if I could not let her go disappointed ; so I bought 
her sketches, and very good ones they were. 
I found out afterwards that she was living in my 
parish, and I succeeded in getting her a few orders, 
but her purchasers were not all so generous as you, 
old man. I have just come from her, having gone 
round at once, upon receipt of your letter, to take the 
mcney. I found her lying down, only just recover, 
ing from a fit of some sort. The woman of the 
house and the girl who was here just now were sit¬ 
ting with her. She seemed very ill— in fact, so ill 
that I fetched a doctor. He said-” Wilfred 
Graham stopped as if in doubt whether to continue 
or not. 
“ Well, he said ? ” 
“ He said, Arthur, that Miss Deane was dying of 
starvation. She seemed better before I left, old 
man,” he added, kindly. 
•• Thank you, Wilfred. I am sure you did all in 
your power for her. Where is she living ? In my 
excitement I let Susan go without giving me the 
address.” 
“ No. 5, Bristol Lane, Borough,” replied the 
curate. “ It is a wretched place, and I am afraid 
you will have some difficulty in finding it ; so if you 
like I will call for you in the morning and pilot you 
there.” 
Lord Bewdley having agreed to this arrangement, 
his friend shortly after took his leave.

It is with much regret that we record the death of 
Mr. George Prince, the veteran rosarian of Oxford, 
who died at his residence, 14, Market Street, on 
Tuesday, the 3rd inst. About nine years ago he was 
thrown from his trap and so much injured that he 
never completely recovered. Paralysis of the left 
arm and leg, with affection of the heart later on, was 
the legacy left him by this unfortunate accident, 
which all rosarians and everyone who knew the 
quiet, unassuming and retiring character of Mr. 
Prince, must deplore. Our readers will know him, 
and remember him best by his successes with Tea 
Roses at the shows of the National Rose Society, at 
the Crystal Palace and elsewhere. Mr. Prince has 
contributed in no small degree to the present 
popularity of the Tea Roses. At a time when their 
weakly character, largely induced by growing them 
on the Manetti stock, was holding them in abeyance, 
Mr. Prince conceived the idea of working them upon 
the seedling Brier, and followed this up with 
results that surprised old and young exhibitors 
alike. We hope that Mr. Prince’s sons will follow 
in the footsteps of their father in upholding the high 
standard of Tea Roses. 
It is with much regret that we have to announce 
the untimely death, on the morning of Wednesday, 
the 4th irst., of Mr. Fred Horsman, the son of the 
late Mr. Fred Horsman, Orchid grower and importer 
of Marks Tey, near Colchester, Essex. The deceased 
was only 24 years of age, and his death has caused a 
gloom over a wide circle of relatives and friends. 
The immediate cause of death was rupture of a blood 
vessel, and hemorrhage setting in, he became uncon¬ 
scious before he could be got home.

*,* Will our friends who send us newspapers be so good 
as to mark the paragraphs or articles they wish us to see 
We shall be greatly obliged by their so doing. 
Nitrate of soda in liquid form. — M. M. : For 
plants of strong growth about J oz. of nitrate of soda 
would be sufficient for a gallon of water ; but in the 
case of the plants you mention, it would be safer to 
dissolve that quantity in one and a half gallons of 
■water. For seedling Lilies we would not advise the 
use of artificial manures of this kind oftener than 
once a week. 
W. F. Bennett Rose.— A/.AT. : This is a vigorous, 
hybrid, Tea-scented Rose, and very useful for forcing 
for winter blooming. It might succeed on the Rosa 
fortuneana as a stock ; bat we should recommend 
you to use the Seedling Brier or the Grifferae stock 
if you can manage to get them. The plant you have 
may never grow strong (some individuals never do), 
but by budding to get fresh plants the difficulty can 
be overcome. 
Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society. 
— M. ill.: This journal does not come out regularly 
but at irregular intervals, dependent upon various 
circumstances. The published parts vary in size 
and price, but usually they run to 5s. to non-fellows, 
and half price to fellows, we believe—that is, if they 
require more than one number. Each part 
contains a number of the essays read at the meetings 
as well as the transactions of the society for the 
same period. 
Brown spots in Brabant Bellefleur Apple. 
— W. 0 .: We have frequently met with cases of this 
kind in various Apples, but especially Lord Suffield. 
It is quite different from the skin disease, producing 
spots, and seems to be brought about by bacteria in 
the interior of the fruit. Microscopical organisms of 
various sizes were very numerous in the fruit sent, 
and were disorganising and breaking up the starch 
granules. The only remedy is to burn all the fruits 
affected in this way. 
Various flowers.— Rubens : Carlina lanata, a 
native of South Europe, has purple flowers. The 
description of Ornithogalum nutans was inadver¬ 
tently applied to Scilla nutans last week. The latter 
has blue flowers, but there is a rose variety and a 
white one of it. The rose one is not dark enough to 
be described as purple or cabbage-red. You might 
find a brick-red Pyrethrum ; but Lathyrus rotundi- 
folius is certainly of that colour. Some varieties of 
the Sweet William are Turkey-red. Coquelicot is the 
French name of the Corn Poppy, so that things 
which are equal to the same thing must be equal to 
one another. Nymphaea devoniensis would be in 
flower by June. Camalata does not occur in our 
books.
