SOUTHERN COUNTIES: SUSSEX, 



171 



5. — Mr. J. Rust, The Gardens, Eridge Castle, Tunbridge 

 Wells. 



Observations. — Fruit small, highly coloured. 



Exhibitor 1 s Remarks, — About one half are grafted on the 

 Free stock, many being very old trees ; the others are on the 

 Paradise. Situation of orchard 400 feet above the sea-level, very 

 much exposed to high winds. Soil, a stiff loam, resting on marl. 

 For orchard planting on grass, my experience is in favour of the 

 Free stock ; whilst for cultivated land, the Paradise has much the 

 advantage, especially in exposed places, and the trees are best in 

 the Bush form. 



I do not approve of hard pruning; prefer thinning out the 

 branches. The Paradise stock is best for dessert kinds, and the 

 Crab stock for culinary kinds.
