* These are the best for beauty and quality, f These have 

 good quality but are not so attractive in colour. Very late 

 sorts are omitted, as Apple shows are generally discontinued 

 after December. 



In selecting exhibition fruits, choose those with clean, 

 unspotted skins of bright colour. They must be of even 

 size and no extra large fruits should be staged. 



The friendly rivalry among small growers at local ex- 

 hibitions is a pleasant feature of country life. It is -only 

 by seeing what others can do that general improvement 

 in cultivation can be stimulated.
