Bergamot from its keeping till March ; but it will generally 

 keep later ; and it will succeed where the Belgian late pears, the 

 Easter Beurre, and Beurre Ranee, will not. The fruit, resembles 

 the Autumn Bergamot in form and size ; skin yellowish-brown, 

 partially russeted. Flesh buttery and rich. 



Cerise de Spa. — This has not been fruited in the garden. It 

 was received from Louis Van Houtte as a new sort. In M. 

 Bavay's Catalogue general des Pepuiieres Royales de Vilvorde, 

 near Brussels, the tree is described as being vigorous, and an 

 abundant bearer. Fruit large, red, and of first-rate quality, 

 ripening in July. 



Millfield Apple. This appears to be a new sort, originally 

 received by the Society from Messrs. Young, Nurserymen, 

 Epsom, Fruit middle-sized, roundish, or somewhat pearmain 

 shaped. Eye large, moderately deep. Skin greenish-yellow on 

 the shaded side, reddish and obscurely streaked next, the sun. 

 Flesh yellowish and rich. In perfection in December and 

 January.
