PROCEEDINGS. 



The Ne Plus Meuris was incorrect ; it appeared to be the 

 Urbaniste. The Beurre Bronzee was different from the 

 Bergamot-shaped, dark reddish-brown Pear received under 

 that name from Van Mons. Double Fleur resembled the 

 Present Royal de Naples, a baking Pear allied to the Black 

 Pear of Worcester. The Belle de Jersey has generally 

 proved the same as the Uvedale's St. Germain, but the one 

 in the above collection was different. The fruit exhibited 

 under the name of Belle Angevine, another synonym of the 

 Uvedale's St. Germain, weighed 1 kilogramme 200 grammes, 

 or about 2 lbs. 6|oz. This sort has been grown in England 

 to the weight of 3 lb. 3 oz. The Doyenne Boussoch resem- 

 bled a large Doyenne Gris ; but in many collections it is 

 identical with Double Philippe. Among the new sorts, the 

 Beurre Clergeau is said to be excellent ; but the specimen 

 was spoiled in consequence of having been bruised by 

 carriage. It was large, broad at the base, a little flattened 

 at the eye, tapering regularly towards the stalls, at the 

 insertion of which it is slightly truncated. Another sort, 

 the Doyenne Crotte, is a middle-sized roundish fruit, of 

 excellent quality, as was ascertained from a fruit of it having 

 ripened near London in the present season. 

 The following Apples were also exhibited by M. Brefort : — 

 Rambourg Tardif, Calville de Luxemburg, BellefiUe Nor- 

 mande. Belle Josephine, Reinette Blanche d'Espagne, Belle- 

 lleur, Imperiale, Reinette du Canada, Calville Rouge d'Hiver, 

 Reinette de Cantei'bury. Reine des Reinettes was like a 

 large King of the Pippins ; Pomme d'Eve like Alfriston ; 

 Rambourg Blanc resembled Alexander, and Rambourg 

 Raye the Beauty of Kent; Court-pendu appeared to be the 

 Golden Reinette ; and Reinette Rose was the Court-pendu 

 Plat.
