YORKSHIRE. 



Exhibitors. , 

 [ 1. — Mr. J. Bourne, Priory Gardens, Longhill, Guisborough. 

 Observations. — Examples small and deficient in colour. 



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

 some of them being very old. Situation, rather sheltered. Soil, 

 a sandy loam ; subsoil, gravel. Our garden is situated near the 

 town of Guisborough. It is a very old garden, on some parts of 

 which stood the Guisborough Priory. The Cockpit does very well 

 here ; also Lord Suffield and Keswick Codlin. Really good- 

 flavoured Desert Apples are very difficult to obtain in the 

 open. 



2. — Mr. W. Chuck, The Gardens, Brodsworth Hall, Doncastcr, 



Yorks. 



Observations. — Fruit small and deficient in colouring. 



Exhibitor s Bcniarks. — Most of the trees are 27 years old, 

 being nearly all Bush or Pyramid, chiefly grafted on the Paradise 

 stock. Some of the varieties are very free bearers, but subject 

 to canker. Situation, in a valley running east and west, subject 

 to very sweeping gusty winds. Soil, calcareous, resting upon 

 magnesian limestone. The trees are subject very much in dry 

 seasons to red spider attacks. We have many good varieties in 

 our collection of 100 ; Peasgood's Nonesuch was very good last 

 year, but our trees being young they bore no fruit this season. 

 Northern Spy is now beginning to bear freely, having hitherto 

 been shy ; it keeps well. Some of our trees are cankering badly ;
