and beauty. Its vigorous growth as an orchard tree is rapidly 
bringing it to the front for market growers, whilst grafted on 
the Paradise it is a i^erfectly wonderful bearer. Even on quite 
young trees, and in the South and West, the fruit is of a fine 
colour. It cooks like a Wellington {Dumdoio's Seedling), and 
keeps till Christmas. At this very Crystal Palace Show one 
grower assures me that the crop he has just gathered from trees 
planted only two years ago would, at 4s. a bushel, have brought 
him in at the rate of ^100 an acre. F.C.C. 
Byford Wonder. — A late-keeping variety of great weight and 
substance, which we owe to Hereford. Apples of this class will 
always be valuable after Christmas. In growth it resembles 
Blenheim Orange. A.M. 
Chelmsford Wonder. — This variety, from Messrs. Saltmarsh, 
should prove a useful late heavy Apple. It partakes of the 
Wellington (Dumelozu's Seedling) type. F.C.C. 
Early Bivers. — A fine variety, which I have seen bearing 
well at Sawbridgewortli. It is said to succeed where Lord 
Suffield will not. It may be described as a late Suffield, and not 
so liable to bruise in transit. The tree is a good grower with 
bold foliage. 
Hambling's Seedling. — This grand fruit, raised by Major 
Hambling, will, I venture to say, prove a great acquisition 
amongst late varieties for both orchard and garden planting, as 
large fruits are scarce in March. The tree is free from canker, 
vigorous in growth, and a splendid bearer. F.C.C. 
Mrs. Barron. — In growth this Apple is very distinct from 
any other, and will prove most valuable in gardens of small size, 
where there is little space to spare. It bears abundantly, and is 
of first-rate quality for cooking in October. Large American 
proves to be identical with this. 
Newton Wonder. — Messrs. Pearson, of Cliilwell, have brought 
this Apple into notice. As an orchard tree it is vigorous, on the 
Paradise restricted, while it is a very free bearer, and I antici- 
pate that with Bramlcy's Seedling it will altogether supersede 
the tender and much-cankered Wellington {Dumeloio's Seedling) 
in our orcbards and gardens. It is a really grand new variety. 
F.C.C. 
Tyler's Kernel. — Hardly a new variety, but one as yet 
insufiiciently known. It makes a vigorous orchard tree, such as
