work should be thoroughly washed. Then fresh soil should be 
employed. In spring, when much colder weather prevails and 
the atmosphere is kept cold by condensation, a little more fare 
heat should be employed so that ventilation can be given toi dry 
the fruits during the middle of the day, at least. We believe 
the mischief is more likely to commence m spring or early 
summer than later on. We presume the fruits are kept on 
the damp soil, and they certainly should be. 
Noisette and Tea Roses. 
How can a Noisette be distinguished from a Tea Rose ! 
(Dispute.) . ... 
Tea scented Roses were derived from varieties of Rosa mciica, 
known as the Yellow Tea Scaited and Blush Tea Scented Some 
of them are of very rampant growth, particularly the climbers, 
but others, again, produce numerous slender twiggy growths, 
and have usually shiny leaves more or less tinted with red when 
they are developing. The buds and the flowers themselves are 
usually of some light colour, and more or less conical. They 
are, therefore, as a rule, smaller and less bulky Roses than the 
hybrid Perpetuals. Here, again, you will have to get familiar 
with them, and even familiarity will not always keep you light 
in "judging between Tea and Noisette. The last-named race was 
derived by crossing the Teas with varieties of Rosa moschata, 
the Moss Rose. You will, therefore, recognise that both of these 
are of some light colour, and the varieties which have been pro¬ 
duced from them are also light. The Noisettes frequently have 
-their flowers in bunches, and the blooms, when allow-ed to de- 
velop naturally, are small. There is, at least, one exception 
to this in Marechal Niel, which has large yellow flowers produced 
singly. It is usually easy to distinguish this variety, but few 
would suspect that it is a Noisette, and we can only presume 
that it is so from its pedigree, and tills will have to be carefully 
recorded in the case of all new Noisettes by the. raisers. Some 
of the Tea Roses even produce large bunches of flowers, so that 
it is difficult to judge for certain to which class either of these 
races would belong. You will have to. closely study the care¬ 
fully compiled lists in your possession to keep you right in cer¬ 
tain cases. If you study your Roses from carefully named 
specimens and keep the lists under your eye, you will thereby 
be correctly guided. There is no absolute distinction between 
them and the above races, though experts, who are familiar with 
them, can guess pretty closely at their relationships.

Obituary. 
Sir William Henderson, LL.D. 
We regret to learn of the death of Sir William Henderson last 
pionth, at his residence, Devanha House, Aberdeen. He was 
born in 1826, and entered the employment of Mr. George 
Thomson, the founder of the Aberdeen line of steamers. He 
was admitted a partner of the firm in 1850, and undertook the 
management of the London branch of the business in 1854, 
where he took an active part in the affairs of the city, where 
carrying it on till 1857. After this he returned to Aberdeen, 
he was highly respected. He was Lord Provost of Aberdeen 
from 1886 to 1889, and was knighted in 1893. 
Sir William was a great supporter of horticulture, and had 
one of the finest ranges of glasshouses in or around the city. 
His Palms, Orchids, fine foliage plants, Chrysanthemums, etc., 
were a feature of the Aberdeen shows for many years past, and 
his gardener, Mr. John Proctor, was a very successful com¬ 
petitor against the gardeners of other gentry who patronised 
the show. The gardens are actually situated in the city, where 
there is always a considerable amount of factory smoke, although 
Aberdeen cannot be called a smoky city. The sea bank is 
fairly exposed here, and the sea fogs are seldom of any duration. 
B. M'cLachlan, Esq., F.R.S 
At the Scientific Committee meeting of the Royal Horticul¬ 
tural Society on the 14th ult., Dr. Masters made a few remarks 
upon the loss to science occasioned by the death of this eminent 
member of the Scientific Committee. He was one of the very 
few left of the earliest members of it ; and until failing health 
prevented him from being so, he was a most regular attendant 
at its meetings. He was always most courteous and willing 
to give his assistance whenever questions arose in the depart¬ 
ment of entomology, in which he was an expert ; the suggestions 
he made for the treatment of insect attacks were marked by 
caution and sound judgment.
