312 Account of the Apples exhibited in 1818. 



Pippin is certainly the best, if, indeed, it be a seedling; 

 but I am rather disposed to believe it is of French origin, at 

 least the French have an Apple which it closely resembles. 



I trust that the Society will receive the present communi- 

 cation with indulgence, and consider it as an attempt, only, 

 towards ascertaining the best varieties of Apples, and leading 

 to a rejection of the worthless sorts ; and I am not without 

 hopes that it may induce some one whose experience is 

 superior to mine to undertake the task. 



August 4th. The first ripe Apples of the season were the 

 White June-eating ; these were exhibited by Joseph Sabine, 

 Esq. and Mr. William Morgan, from the Gardens at 

 North Mims. They were the true sort, and very superior to 

 those generally sold in the London market under that name. 



Mr. Hugh Ronalds, of Brentford, exhibited sixteen 

 varieties of Summer Apples, most of them correctly named, 

 and all beautiful specimens. 



August 18th. Mr. James Grange sent from his Garden 

 at Kingsland some Apples under the name of the Summer 

 Pippin, an excellent dessert Apple, very rich and sweet ; but 

 differing materially from the Summer Pippin of the London 

 markets. 



Sept. 1st. Ten varieties grown in the garden of Lord Mon- 

 tagu, at Ditton Park, were exhibited. They were extraor- 

 dinary specimens, in point of size and beauty. 



Charles William Hick, Esq. of Crouch End, exhibited 

 ten sorts, all of excellent growth, and correctly named. 



Sept. 15th. Daniel Giles, Esq. sent from Youngsbury 

 nine sorts ; one among them, a small Apple, called by him the 

 Transparent Apple, attracted particular notice.
