 ORDINARY MEETING. 



The foDowing candidate was elected a Fellow of the Society j 



Mr. R. S. Mounljoy, Ealing. 



A notice was read of a Pine Apple, caUed the Moore Greem 

 seedling, of which a specimen had been received from James 

 Taylor, Esq., F. H. S., of Moore Green near Birmingham. 

 It had been raised at the above place from seed of the EnviDe 

 Pine, which fruited late in the season in a pit, along with several 

 other sorts, ripening likewise about the same time ; from all of 

 which, Mr. Taylor states that the seedling differs in flavour, 

 ]VIr. Thompson reported that the sf)ecimen weighed 2 lb. 12 oz. 

 was of a somewhat globular form, \*ith a <iocks-combed crown, 

 resembling that of an Enville, when the latter asstmoes, as it fre- 

 quently does, that shape. The pips were moderately prominent ; 

 scales acutely pointed, their apex reaching to the centre of the 

 pips ; c-olour bright orange ; 6esh, considered equal in quality to 

 that of the Enville.
