Observations. — Fruit small, and deficient in colour. 



Exhibitor's Bemarks. — We grow our trees in a great variety 

 of forms, Standard, Bush, Pyramid, Espalier, Cordon, &c. ; the 

 average age would be about 30 years, many being much older. 

 Situation of orchard, partially shaded by tall trees from the after- 

 noon sun, hence the deficiency in the colour of the fruit. Soil, 

 a good strong loam, upon gravelly subsoil.
