3. — Mr. Sidney Ford, Gardener, Leonardslce, Horsham. 



Observations. — A very interesting collection, containing many 

 local varieties of merit. 



Exhibitor's Bemarks. — The collection sent consists of about 

 one half the varieties grown here in these gardens and orchards 

 as Bush and Standard trees. Situation, 273 feet above sea-level, 

 on a gentle slope, facing south. Soil varies much, from a sandy 

 loam to stiff clay ; the subsoil consisting of sandy gravel and 

 sand rock. There are a great number of local kinds very little 

 known elsewhere, viz., Edmund Jupp, First and Last, Treadcroft 

 Seedling, Langley's Seedling, St. Leonard's Seedling, and 50 

 others I could name, all good, useful kinds. 



Selection of Twelve Varieties most suited for Culture 

 in the District, Named in Order of Succession. 



Blenheim Orange, Warner's King, Tower of Glamis, Beauty 

 of Kent, Lady Henniker, Bedfordshire Foundling, Yorkshire 

 Greening, Cellini Pippin, Golden Noble, Dr. Hogg, Winter Quoin- 

 ing, Kibston Pippin. 



4. — Mr. R. Miller, Southdown Road, Shoreham, Sussex. 



Observations. — Examples of fair average merit. 



Exhibitor's Bemarks. — Grown on Standard and Bush trees 

 from 20 to 50 years old, grafted on the Crab. Situation sheltered. 

 Soil, heavy ; subsoil, clay. Early Harvest bears a good crop in 

 alternate years ; Keswick, Lord Suffield, Hawthornden, Welling- 

 ton, Cockle's Pippin, and Cellini fruit more or less every year, 

 and are generally good ; Northern Greening bears well, but 

 the trees being very old, and subject to high winds, the fruit is 

 generally small. Apples are not much grown in this neighbour- 

 hood, being too much exposed to the sea and to high winds in 

 the autumn.
