Scope and content
Royal Gardens, Kew. - Afraid he cannot accept Quaritch's invitation to the Omar Khayyám club dinner at Henley in July. The editor of the Illustrated London News has written asking for a photograph of the rose [grown from seeds taken from the rose at the tomb of Omar Khayyám]; he has instead sent a sketch by his wife which he thinks 'will do it better justice'. Postscript: next year, the rose will be propagated and planted out in the public part of the Garden.
