GENERAL MEETING. 
Major Trevor Clarke in the Chair. 
The Chairman said that the most interesting feature of the 
Meeting was the extraordinary display of Onions which had 
been brought together after many years of selection and culti- 
vation. He had obtained many interesting seedlings by planting 
different kinds close together. One great merit of some of the 
new Onions is the extraordinary mildness, far exceeding that of 
imported Spanish Onions.
