400 Notice of new or remarkable Varieties of Fruits, 



near Lichfield. The seed was sown in January 1821, and 

 the plant now exhibited a fair crop, being a remarkable in- 

 stance of a Vine bearing fruit in the first year from seed. 

 The colour of the berries is a very pale amber, sprinkled 

 with many minute brown spots. Mr. Buck states that the 

 berries, soon after they are formed, assume a triangular shape, 

 which they retain till nearly half grown, when they become 

 quite globular. The texture is rather firm, but not fleshy ; 

 it is juicy, sweet, and rich, with a high flavour that compen- 

 sates for the want of perfume, which is not very distinguish- 

 able in it. It has been named the Elf or d Seedling Grape.

Michaee Bland, Esq. sent to the Meeting on the 1st of 

 October, specimens of an Apple raised in his garden at Nor- 

 wich, in the year of the Jubilee (1809), and thence called 

 the Jubilee Pippin. It is above the middle size, rather coni- 

 cal ; eye a little sunk in a contracted cavity ; stalk short ; 

 skin pale green, with a little russet, and many small pale russet 

 spots ; flesh white, crisp, and melting, with high flavoured 

 sugared acid juice. It keeps well, although it is in its greatest 

 perfection in the early part of the season. The tree bore its 

 first crop in 1818. 



The Rev. John Symonds Breedon sent to the Meeting 

 on the 15th of October, specimens of a seedling Apple, 

 raised by him in his garden at Bere Court, near Pangbourne, 

 in Berkshire, and named by him the Bere Court Pippin. It 

 resembles a large and well formed Nonesuch, but is rather 

 less flattened. The stalk is slender, and deeply inserted ;
