trees, a Free stock, but not the Crab. We believe frequently lifting 

 the trees to be productive of fruitfulness, also in feeding thern 

 well while swelling their fruit, and in keeping a sharp look-out 

 after American blight and other apple pests. All the varieties 

 named fruit here very freely, specially so when grafted on the 

 English Paradise stock, either as Cordons, Bushes, or Espaliers. 

 This is a cold exposed situation. Soil, sandy loam, 2 feet ; 

 subsoil, 2 feet strong loam ; under that, gravel.

 guidance. 



Exhibitor's Bemarks. — Situation, top of Brixton Hill, rather 

 exposed, but not so liable to spring frosts as lower ground. 

 Character of soil, ordinary kitchen garden improved by the 

 addition of soot, lime, &c. Subsoil, gravel, sand, and clay, with 

 good drainage. 



General Bemarks. — The fruit exhibited is from Bushes and 

 Pyramids on the Paradise, slightly pruned in summer, and again 

 in January or February. The Standard trees in the neighbour- 

 hood are much neglected. They are old, infested with insect 

 pests, and no one can say with certainty what the stocks are. 

 They are generally considered to be on the Crab stock.
