Among so many it would, of course, be invidious to particularise any of the 

 collections of apples, especially so as many of them were worthy of notice ; indeed, 

 it was quite the exception not to find one or more of the interesting varieties 

 among even the smallest of them. But the large and interesting collections of 

 culinary, dessert, and cider fruit, sent from Mr. J. H. Arkwright, of Hampton 

 Court, Mr. W. Jay, of Lyde, and Mr. Watkins, of Bewell Street, the collection of 

 old Herefordshire fruits from Mr. Lechmere, of Fownhope, and the small, though 

 exceedingly fine and choice collections of Mr. H. Higgins, of Tliinghill, and the 

 Rev. H. Tweed, of Bridstow, must not be allowed to pass without notice. It was 

 a matter of great regret that Dr. Hogg was prevented by indisposition from 

 classifying and naming but a few of the varieties before the exhibition was open to 

 the public, on Thursday, but our great authority was at his post on Friday, when 

 he left but very few unnamed amongst them. There were, of course, some very 

 remarkable varieties left, which the learned doctor had never seen, and which, 

 therefore, must be held to be purely local. All fruits of this description had a 

 reserve put upon them, and will be sent to London, to him, for dissection and 

 description, when they will no doubt be brought into the more prominent position 

 which they deserve. In addition to these, he also reserved those varieties which 

 will be required for description and figuring in the present and future numbers of 

 the new Herefordshire Pomona, which is shortly to appear. It is a matter of some 

 considerable regret that the exhibition was not open to the public on Wednesday, 

 when those more particularly interested in the culture of the fruit would have 

 been present in Hereford, but still, with all the drawbacks mentioned, the third 

 exhibition of apples and pears, under the auspices of the Woolhope Club, must be 

 considered a decided success.
