NEW SEEDLINGS. 



J. TV. Talbot, Norwood, entered one dish called " the Norwood," 

 and N. B. White, Norwood, three dishes, respectively called the 

 " Norfolk Muscat," the "August Giant" and " a New Seedling," 

 for the special premiums offered by the Society for Seedlings 

 ripening in this country in the open air by the middle of September, 

 prolific and suitable for the table, equal or superior to the Isabella. 

 The facts as presented were not sufficient to warrant the grant- 

 ing of the special premiums. More knowledge of the grapes, 

 the vines, the bearing qualities, the conditions of their growth and 

 their comparative merits with the Isabella, were deemed requisite. 

 This can be attained only by personal experience and a visitation 

 to the place of their growth, and this the committee recommend. 

 In view of the facts as presented to the committee, they would 

 recommend the following gratuities : — 



The Norwood Seedling. — J. TV. Talbot, Norwood, gratuity, $2. 



August Giant. — N. B. White, Norwood, gratuity, $1. 



Several Seedlings were contributed by Edwin Reed, of Hyde 

 Park. It did not appear that these werj entered for the special 

 premiums. The committee, however, did not deem them worthy 

 of a premium or gratuity, though they showed commendable 

 enterprise.
