Other Apples were exhibited, namely : — From C. W. Stbick- 

 land, Esq., Hildenley. Dumelow's Seedling; these had been 

 subjected to the influence of hard frost, and were more or less 

 decayed; the acid of the fruit was very much subdued. Winter 

 Strawberry ; fruit of medium size, roundish, pale yellow much 

 covered with broken streaks of dark crimson ; eye small and closed, 

 not deeply depressed ; stalk very short embedded in the deep 

 cavity ; flesh tender, juicy, brisk, and with a fine strawberry flavour. 

 This is a culinary apple ; its season was evidently past, for it had 

 become somewhat mealy, and when baked was void of flavour.
