wonderful Grooseberries. Mr. Turner was first, ]\ir. J. Sharp, 
gardener to W. Martin, Esq., second, and Mr. Bead, gardener to 
C. J. Herries, Esq., third, the last-named exhibitor being first and 
second for the six heaviest fruit. 
A First-class Certificate was given to Mr. Knight, of Hailsham, 
for a new Peach (Knight's Markley Admirable), a freestone of the 
Teton-de-Yenus type : the flavour was far superior to that of 
other early peaches. Messrs. J. and C. Lee sent specimens of 
their Hammersmith Early Kidney Potato, grown on light and 
heavy land. Mr. Eivers sent ten varieties of Filberts and nuts 
grafted on Corylus arhorescens, 
GENEEAL MEETING. 
W. Wilson Satjndees, Esq., F.E.S., in the Chair. 
Mr. Berkeley, with reference to the golden forms of Juniper us 
Cliinensis from Mr. Maurice Toung, stated that such plants, when 
grown in the shade, usually reverted to the green state, and that 
they kept their golden colour only when fully exposed to the sun. 
The Diefferibacliia sent by the Chairman exhibited a most curious 
case of fusion, two leaves being joined together back to back, the 
result of the coalition of two petioles. Such an instance occurs 
not unfrequently in Ficus reticulata.
