From Mr. Robert M'ilson, Gardener to the Duke of Norfolk, 

 a collection, of noble specimens of fourteen kinds of Pears, from 

 standard trees, ripened in the gardens at Arrndel Castle ; those 

 of the Seckle were singularly fine and well coloured. 



F'rom Henry Grace, Esq., of St. John's A\'ood, some specimens 

 of the Marie Louise and Duche&se d' Angoul^me Pears. Mr. Grace 

 stated that he had g-athered two thousand two hundred fruit of 

 the former from five small trees, and that he calculated three 

 hundred more to have fallen ; he ascribed the productiveness of 

 the trees and the fineness of the fruit to the roots of the trees 

 being covered with dung and watered since the month of July. 



From the Garden of the Society various flowers and fruits ; 

 among the former were the Chinese tufted Celosias, white, yel- 

 low, and red, much more beautiful than the Cockscomb Celosias 

 usually cultivated. Of the fruit the following Pears were the 

 most novel ; 



'Jlie Comte de Lamy, a very sugar}'^ standard sort ; 

 The Colmar Neill, resembling the white Doyenne, but the tree 

 hardier ; 



The Jston Town, a good sort, w^ell adapted, from its size, for 

 high standards, and an abundant bearer • 



The Belmont and Brougham, varieties raised by the late Presi- 

 dent, excellent bearers, and best flavoured from standards ; 



The Bun^ermeester, a good Pear, almost similar in flavour to 

 the Beurre Bosc ; 



And the Charles d Jutriche, even a finer Pear than the Beurre 

 Diel, and bearing weU as a standard. 



The following Medals were awarded ; 



The Silver Knightian to Mrs. Lawrence, for Geissomeria longi- 

 flora and Phaius maculatus, and to Mr. Robert Wilson, for 

 Pears,
