From Mr. Elridge, Gardener to G. H. Ward, Esq., F.H.S., 

 two bunches of Grapes, weighing lib. 4 oz., and 1 lb. 3 oz. j 

 these were said to have been brought from Paris in 1840 under 

 the French name of Raisin Monstre ; they much resembled the 

 Gros Ribier du Maroc and required as much heat as was given to 

 Muscats to bring them to perfection. 



From the Garden of the Society, were Berberis tenuifolia and ten 

 varieties of Chrysanthemum, which, from having had abundance of 

 light and air, M^ere finely coloured ; also a collection of Pears, 

 including Urbaniste, GanseVs Bergamot, Marie Louise and various 

 others, with the following Apples, viz. Golden Reinelte, Margil, 

 Loan's Pearmain, Birmingham Pippin, Tower of Glammis, a very 

 excellent kitchen apple, and Orack Elma, a Persian Apple ; the 

 tinge of red in the latter is different from that seen in European 

 Apples, the flavour somewhat resembles that of the French 

 Calville.
