EDITORIAL NOTES. 
Little Known Tea Rose. 
Hnthe “ Rosen-Zeitung ” for June we note 
coloured illustration of a Tea Rose, which 
ould be a very handsome one if at all 
nilar to the illustration. It is named 
idemoiselle Jeanne Philippe. The flowers, 
aerially in the half-expanded state, are of 
oea.utiful conical shape, and heavily shaded 
th a rich orange apricot over an ochre 
How ground. It is useful either for cut 
►were or for groups or for general decora- 
)n. It was raised by Herr Godard in 1898. 
I ie editor, Herr P. Lambert, speaks very 
ghly of it as a beautiful and very little 
lown Rosa 
cw Garden Plants for 1902. 
A very extensive list of new garden plants 
ought into notice during the past year 
appears as Appendix III. to the “Bulletin of 
Miscellaneous Information,” Royal Gardens, 
Kew. The list is a veiy lengthy one, and 
apparently includes everything belonging toi 
the phanerogams and the vascular crypto*- 
. gams .that possess any distinctness to be 
worthy of recording. The number of Orchids 
is considerable, greater, in fact, than one 
would imagine, trusting merely to* memory. 
For instance, no less than forty-five Cattleyas 
are recorded, including varieties and hybrids. 
The Laeliocattleyas are almost equally ex¬ 
tensive, and Odontoglossums also constitute 
a lengthy list. Mere' florist flowers are, of 
course, excluded, but even, then the list gives 
cause for surprise that so many new tilings 
should be introduced in the course of twelve 
months. Many of them are, of course, doubt¬ 
less still in the possession of the proud 
owners or raisers. We should have liked 
that the' descriptions, in the case of garden 
hybrids more particularly, had been a little 
fuller, so that readers should have some con¬ 
ception of their appearance and value for 
garden decoration, even if they have never 
seen them. For mere botanical purposes the 
descriptions are, no' doubt, sufficient, at least 
where the parents are known and recorded, 
because the hybrids themselves must possess 
a combination, of the features of their 
parents. The list runs to> twenty-five pages, 
and may be purchased from any bookseller, 
or directly from Messrs. Eyre and Spottis- 
woode, East Harding Street, Fleet Street, 
London, the price being 4d., exclusive of 
postage.

The Fencing in of Stonehenge. 
As we have on Several occasions mentioned 
in our pages, it is pretty well known that 
the owner of the land on which Stonehenge 
stands in 1901 erected a barbed wire fence 
round a triangle of land of considerable size, 
thus preventing the general public from get¬ 
ting close up to' the monument, except by 
payment of Is. The land, so far as is known, 
has never been previously' enclosed. On the 
south side the' fences are at some distance 
from the stones, but come SO' close on, the 
north side that some of the detached 
members of the group are outside the fences. 
The enclosure cuts across and obstructs four 
carriage ways of veiy ancient standing. The 
avowed object of the owner in obstructing 
these public ways is the preservation of the 
monument. The Commons and Footpaths 
Preservation Society quite see that the motive 
of the owner is good, but doubt the right of 
the owner for fencing thq lands indicated and 
excluding the whole nation from this very 
ancient monument, and to which the general 
public has hitherto enjoyed free access time 
out of mind. The society is therefore re*- 
Iuctantly compelled toi appeal to the general 
public for funds to preserve the public right 
of access to Stonehenge. The secretary of 
the society is Mr. Lawrence W. Chubb, 25, 
Victoria, Street, Westminster, S.W. 
The Conservatory at Hartburn 
Lodge. 
By the courtesy of Mr. J. Warren, gar¬ 
dener to F. Raimes, Esq., Hartbum Lodge, 
Stockton-on-Tees, we are furnished with a 
few more particulars concerning the fine new 
conservatory which has just been erected 
there. Rockwork is the special feature in 
tlie conservatory to which we made allu¬ 
sion, but which was not shown in 
our Supplement of last week. The photo¬ 
grapher made the most of the staging on 
which Mr. Warren has arrang-ed a general 
collection of flowering plants, such as Glox¬ 
inias and Begonias, besides the foliage plants 
mentioned last week. On the right, how¬ 
ever, is a, fine piece of Cymbidium lowianum, 
the flowers of which have lasted a long time 
in fine condition in the conservatory. The 
place is practically new, so that the gardener 
has not yet had time to devote attention to 
any special feature of plant growing, his time 
being mostly taken up with the laying out 
of the grounds. The conservatory is reached 
from the lawn by a flight of four steps, but 
this has not. been shown in the photograph, 
only the two. vases at the top of the landing. 
Only a veiy small corner of the rockwork 
round the end, outside, has been shown, but 
the gardener thinks the rockwork necessary 
to give the ivhole a finished appearance. 
Apart from this, we might mention the Lily 
pond; in. which a collection of hardy Nym¬ 
ph a,eas has been established and now flower¬ 
ing exceedingly well. 
—o— 
Holidays in Eastern Counties. 
Under this title a small book of ninety-six 
pages, including the index, has been, edited 
by Percy Lindley, and published by the 
Great Eastern Railway Co. It is. made of 
a size suitable for the pocket, and contains 
a. large number of illustrations: of places in 
various parts of the eastern counties of Eng¬ 
land, where one may spend as pleasant a 
holiday, as they.can on the Continent. A 
rather bold statement is made in saying that 
the east coast to-day is all things to all 
Mien, but. “ in tune to.come may present an 
unbroken and invulnerable front of imposing 
hotels, to the encroaching sea.” Part 1 is 
devoted to the country and coast between 
London and Cromer. The various towns 
through which the rail passes are briefly 
described, so. many of them being mentioned 
that it would be impossible to get long de¬ 
tails, and a,t the present day such are not 
wanted by the holiday tourist. Part 2 takes 
the country and the coast between, London 
and Hunstanton. Each town and place passed 
by the tourist is briefly described as in the 
previous case. The pictures include King’s 
College Chapel; Cambridge; Peterborough 
Cathedral and Ely Cathedral, besides many 
others. Prominence has been given to some 
of the less-known, districts in East • Anglia, 
and a list of East Anglian, golf-links has been 
added. It would be a useful companion to 
anyone travelling by the routes mentioned.
