DAHLIA SHOW, SEPTEMBEK 11, J86J. 671 



so many varieties of superior merit are in season, the Committee 

 thought it was not a desirable addition to those already 

 in cultivation. 



Mr. Graham, of Cranford, exhibited specimens of Gooseberry 

 Apple, of the crop of 1860. They were in excellent condition, 

 and quite fit for use. This is one of the best cooking apples, and 

 may be kept without any trouble for a twelvemonth. 



Mr. William Deans, nurseryman, Jedburgh, N.B., sent a 

 Seedling Apple called Jedburgh Abbey. It is rather below 

 medium size, conical, and yellow. The flesh is very tender and 

 with an agreeable acid, and it promises to be a good early 

 culinary apple, and judging of the texture of the flesh well 

 adapted for apple jelly. 



Mr. John Newton, gardener to F. G. Graham, Esq., Enfield 

 Chase, exhibited dishes of Yellow Ingestrie, Red (luarrendon, 

 and Kerry Pippin. 



XCIV.— DAHLIA SHOW, Sept. 11, 1801. 

 The Great Dahlia Show, held on the above date, was a very 

 excellent show in every respect. The Dahlias exhibited were 

 numerous and fine. So were the German and French Asters. 

 The Gladioluses were beautiful; and in miscellaneous plants 

 several most interesting novelties were shown for the first time 

 (see the Floral Committee's Eeport). The day was as fine as 

 could be desired. Two of the best bands in Loudon attended in 

 full force— that of the Royal Artillery 06 in number, and that of 

 the Eoyal Engineers nearly as many. The company also was 

 numerous, between 3000 and 4000 persons having attended.
