EXHIBITION OF APPLES AND PEARS. 



The exhibition of apples and pears in connection with the Club was held in the 

 Museum and Woolhope Eoom of the Free Library, on Thursday, October 11th, 

 when about 1200 plates of fruit were exhibited. This is a very gratifying fact, 

 and shows what growing interest the public take in such matters, especially when 

 the very unpropitious character of the season is taken into consideration. This 

 remark especially holds good about pears, the collection of which, as might have 

 been expected, was rather limited ; however, a magnificent collection of the finest 

 grown French and English pears was sent by Sir H. Scudamore Stanhope, from 

 the Holme Lacy Gardens, grown on the celebrated Cordon Wall, which certainly 

 seems to set at defiance all the enemies that pears are heirs to. The following is a
