SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1655. 



* 



Last Wednesday's Exhibition at Chiswick was 

 held in a perfect downpour of rain, which very much 

 excluded both visitors and exhibitors. Nevertheless 

 the show of fruit, upon which the prizes of the day 

 were concentrated, was extremely fine. Above 250 

 dishes of excellent produce, and" manv young trees 

 in pots, well loaded with fruit, graced the fables ; 

 the latter came from the Duke of Norfolk's garden 

 at Arundel, and from Messrs. Lane and S« n, who 

 are becoming worthy rivals of Mr. Rivers in the 

 orchard house line. The Plums particularly 

 attracted attention, owing to the beautiful condition 

 in which they were shown from Frogmore and 

 Arundel. Denver's Victoria, a larce reddish sort 

 with a delicate bloom ; the Goliath, Green Gage, 

 Jefferson, and Washington varieties will never be 

 seen in such condition unless under class. 



Grapes, too. were in gre;t force. From Trentham 

 came most admirable bunches of the Black Ham- 

 burgh and Mill Hill Black Hamburgh, sufficiently 

 showing that the two sorts are very far from being 

 identical. The best coloured bunche?, however, 

 appeared to us to be some very remarkable ones 

 from the garden of Mr. William FJep.bert, of Clap- 

 ham Common. 



Fine Pines were exhibited in lone: lines of yellow 

 and brown, and in every case did credit to the 

 growers. Among them were two striking Black 

 Princes from Temple Nevrsome, and a Providence 

 w< ighing 12 lbs. 3 oz. from Dowlais. It is a pity 

 such fine looking things s-hould not be better worth 

 eating. 



Tl only novelties which we observed were a 

 white Grape, called the Stockwood Golden Ham- 

 nrgh, and a Strawberry named Omer Pacha. Both 

 were excellent in quality as well as attractive in 

 appearance. The Strawben v seetned to have a 

 little of the flavour of the Alpine. The Grape had 

 been raised by Mr Busby from the seed of the Black 

 Hamburgh, which it entirely resembled in form; 

 but it had the colour of a white Muscadine nd was 

 quite as good as the Black Hamburgh itself. Un- 

 doubtedly it is a real acquisition. 



We were greatly disappointed with Ferns and 

 Lycopods, which might have been produced in
