ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



French Paradise was of much weaker growth, and showed a ten- 

 dency to root higher up the stem than the English Paradise. 



Mr. Tillery, Welbeck, exhibited the following examples of well- 

 ripened Grapes, with a view to elicit something as to the vexed 

 question of flavour : — No. 1. Frankenthal. This was very deficient 

 in colour, being nearly red ; it was considered to be the sweetest 

 amongst them. No. 2. Mill Hill. This was well coloured, and 

 was placed second. No. 3. "Welbeck Black Tripoli, which is a 

 synonym of the Frankenthal. This was well coloured, and was 

 placed third. The Muscat of Alexandria was very much shri- 

 velled and russety, but was of exquisite flavour. 



Messrs. Lane and Son, Great Berkhampstead, exhibited some 

 splendid examples of the following Grapes, viz. : — Muscat Ham- 

 burgh, Alicante (which is the true Black Tokay), Lady Downe's, 

 Black Prince, Grros G-uillaume, and Chavousb, for which a Spe- 

 cial Certificate was awarded. 



Messrs. Lane also exhibited a vine of the Alicante, laden with 

 fine fruit, in a pot. There were eight or ten large and well- 

 coloured bunches on it. Special Certificate awarded. 



Mr. Ingram, gardener to Her Majesty at Progulore, exhibited 

 a very fine smooth Cayenne Fine, weighing 8J lbs., one of many 

 cut from plants only eleven months old. It was awarded a Spe- 

 cial Certificate.
