WESTMORELAND. 



Exhibitor. 



1. — Mr. Charles Ceossland, Gardener, Beachivood, Arnsidc, 

 Westmoreland. 



Observations. — An extremely interesting collection of old 

 English Apples now seldom to be met with. The examples 

 were all small, very deficient hi colouring, being green and 

 unripe looking, and all more or less acid. 



Exhibitor's Bemarks. — Grown on old Standard trees, planted 

 in the year 1776, and grafted on the Crab stock. Situation, on 

 the seashore, with a north aspect, very much exposed, suffering 

 much from west winds, and receiving no sun before midday. 

 Soil, 12 inches of moderate loam ; subsoil, a reddish clay, wet 

 and poor. The orchard at Beachwood does not at present show 

 a great amount of culture. It had been allowed to run almost 

 wild until a few years ago. The Apples I have sent may not be 

 as fine as might be anticipated, but as they are gathered from 

 such old trees, much finer could not be expected. The Apples 

 named are varieties I should select if I were going to plant a 

 new orchard, provided they were all worked on the Crab stock. 

 I consider the Crab stock the only one fit for this locality, as 

 several varieties on other stocks canker very much here. The 

 same varieties have been grown on the Beachwood estate for 

 over 200 years, and yielded some remarkably heavy crops and 

 fine fruit when cultivated by a Mr. Saul, a great lover of orchard 

 culture, and a former owner of Beachwood. Mr. Saul always 

 used the Crab stock.
