Roses and Fitzgerald. 
Among the exhibits at the recent Col¬ 
chester Rose Show were some Persian 
Roses, brought from the grave of Edward 
Fitzgerald, translator of Omar Khayyam. 
The Persian Government sent a Rose tree 
to be planted on Fitzgerald's grave at 
Boulge, Suffolk. 
Crinum H. G. Elwes.

canum. Award of Merit by the R.H.S. 
at the Holland Park Show when shown 
by H. J. Elwes, Esq. (gardener, Mr. W.

The American Gooseberry Mildew. 
We are in receipt of some reprints on 
this subject, and also a pamphlet of nine 
pages, as well as some plates representing 
the mildew from Professor E. S. Salmon, 
F.L.S., mycologist to the South-Eastern 
Agricultural College, Wye, Kent. It is 
now evident that mycologists are fully 
alive to the danger of one of the most im¬ 
portant of our hardy fruits from this 
highly infectious fungoid disease caused 
by Sphaerotheca mors-uvae. While des¬ 
cribing the fungus he has also illustrated 
it in its various stages of development, 
showing the summer and winter condi¬ 
tions of it. The illustrations of leaves, 
stems and berries attacked will also prove 
highly serviceable to readers in enabling 
them to detect the presence of American 
Gooseberry 7 mildew if it should be present 
in their plantations. A coloured plate 
shows the stumpy and thickened young 
shoots attacked by the disease, with their 
markings, while a healthy shoot along¬ 
side shows the difference. Photographic 
reproduction of leaves and berries also 
show very clearly the nature of the 
fungus when present. These photo¬ 
graphs, of course, give the naked eye ap¬ 
pearance.
