JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Selection of Ten Varieties suited fob Market Culture. 



Red Astrachan, Lord Suffield, Ecklinville, Stirling Castle, 

 Cox's Orange Pippin, Blenheim Orange, Stone's, Tower of Glamis, 

 Small's Admirable, Wellington. 



Exhibitor's Remarks. — Situation, sheltered north, east, and 

 south by trees. Soil, loam, resting on the Kentish ragstone. 



General Remarks.— Orchard, trees are regularly pruned as well 

 as all trained trees. The fruit is much finer and clearer on the 

 Paradise stock, but the trees do not grow so large, but come into 

 fruit much sooner. I prefer the Bush or Pyramid form. 



15. — Mr. George White, Fairlawn, Maidstone. 

 Observations. — Fruit good. 



Exhibitor's Remarks. — Grown on very old Standard trees, 

 grafted on the Crab. Situation where grown, sheltered by a 

 hedge. Soil, stone shatter, overlying Kentish rag. The Orchards 

 are cultivated, having a crop of currants and cobnuts beneath 

 the Apples, though some are grown on turf. Those Orchards 

 are the best where the grass is fed off by sheep.
