JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



4. — Mr. C. Warden, Gardener to Sir F. Hervey Bathurst, 

 Bart., Clarendon Park, Salisbury. 



Observations. — Fruit small and deficient in colour. 



Exhibitor's Bemarhs. — The majority of our trees are 

 Standards, but some are trained as Espaliers, the former having 

 been planted about 50 years, the latter about 30 years. They 

 are grafted on the Crab. Situation, sheltered on north and 

 north-west by lofty trees. Soil, a strong loam, resting on clay, 

 styled here London clay, which is not inviting. When the roots 

 of the trees are allowed to get down, the fruits are generally 

 scabby and spotted, and, besides deteriorating them in their 

 appearance, they do not keep so well. Many of the kinds that 

 are met with in this locality are more adapted for cider-making 

 than as culinary or dessert. " Ducket " (Ducat) is an excellent 

 Apple for cooking, and an abundant bearer generally. The 

 orchards in this district contain too many inferior varieties. 



Selection of Twenty-four Varieties most suited for 

 Culture in the District, Named in Order of Succession.
