 nriite for Mrs. I-e Hloiul," Lady Bury following' with 

 larger buiulies. not so well loioured or so shapely, o( 

 the same variety, K. W Westby. Roebuck Caslle, beinj<^ 

 third for two nice bunches of Hucklands Sweetwater. 

 Next year there should be two classes for white i^rapos, 

 one for .Muscats ;iiid the otrcr class for any other 

 variety of w hite ifr.ipes. 



Black Hainbro were well shown, large in bunch, with 

 berries well coloured. Lord O'Neill. T. K. Laidlaw, and 

 Lady Bury winniny- in order named. 



For black ),'rapes, any other variety, Lady Bury was 

 first prize winner, and' Mrs. Le Blond second, both 

 showinjf .Appley Towers, a .ijrape scarcely enonj,'h 

 jfrown. It has very larije berries, which colour a fine 

 black, with a heavy bloom, bunches medium to large, 

 and dv^es well in a cool vinery, the first prize bunches 

 being very large, but both lots, in my opinion, wanted a 

 few weeks before being fit for table. Madresfield 

 Court grape was shown by a couple of cNhiiiilors. ami 

 should have been placed higlur . 



I'f.u lies were .1 giunl class, tin* Mini lu-iiig l.n>;»' ami

 Melons wi-rc a l.irge ilass, but gi-nerally of poor 

 rt.iMMir, though good in size and appearance. Mrs. 

 Ri-dmond, Loril t.>Neill, Lady Bury and KriiesI Bewley 

 wi'r«' prize winners. 



Apples were very line in such a year as the pn-seiit 

 sunless one, being large ot sizi- .iml the eating varieties 

 of grand lolour, lU-auty of Bath and Irish I'each espe- 

 cially so. '1 he dish of Irish I'each from Kitz \V. A. 

 .Scott that won first prize w.is the best dish of this 

 variety I have seen for some years. Krnest Bewley 

 had .1 grand dish of Charles Ross in the any other 

 v.irietyidesserl, not too large, but of beautiful colour. 

 (Vom pot-grown tree. I should say, as the fruit was 

 perfectly ripe. In the collection of eight varieties, 

 four early cooking and four early dessert, the best 

 exhibit was disqualified for having mid-season and late 

 cooking sorts, a warning to exhibitors another vear. 

 R. While, Gowran, Fitz \V. A. Scott, Lady Bury. K. 

 Bewley. Mrs. Perrin, and Lord Plunket were prize- 

 winners. 



I'earswere a small class, E. Bewley winning with fine 

 fruit again, probably grown under glass. Plums and 

 small fruits were largely shown and of good quality. 

 Lord OWeill, Blacker Douglas, Mrs. Redmond, Miss 

 J. M. Field, Lady Bury, Mrs. Perrin, and Capt. L. 

 Riall being first prizewinners. 



Tomatoes were a grand class, .Sir R. Levinge with 

 Desideratum ist, and Lady Bury with Mackey's 

 M.irkel Favourite 2nd, two lovely dishes, not large but
