Varieties of Fruits.

stone, tender and juicy, very sweet and high flavoured. The 

 stone small and nearly round. This variety was raised from 

 either the Elton, or Waterloo Cherry ; but from the circum- 

 stance of stones of both having been sown in the same bed, 

 Mr. Knight cannot be certain which of the two is the parent. 

 The plant being young, it may be safely inferred, that the 

 present excellence of its produce will be much increased by 

 time. 



Nuts. 



Mr. George Lindley sent to the Meeting on the 16th of 

 October, specimens of the Frizzled Filbert, a valuable variety 

 which he believes is not grown any where except in the county 

 of Norfolk. There is no apparent difference in the tree from 

 the common Filbert, but it is much more prolific, owing pro- 

 bably to its blossoming later than any other kind. The 

 husk is much longer than the nut, longer, even, than in the 

 common Filbert ; and is remarkably plaited or frizzled. The 

 nuts grow, generally, in clusters of two or three, and are of 

 excellent flavour. 



Grapes. 



William Atkinson, Esq. sent from his garden at Grove 

 End, St. John's Wood, on the 7th of August, some bunches 

 of a white Grape, which has been called the Grove End 

 Sweetwater, its real name being unknown. The plant was an 

 imported one, but is certainly new to this country. The fruit 

 ripens on the open wall more than a fortnight before any 

 other Grape. The bunches in general are rather smaller 

 than the Royal Muscadine, and shoulder more than the
