Sanspareil for comparison with Rivers's Codlin. The Committee

Ivanhoe, which proved to be Golden Noble. 
The Rev. J. R. Dummelow, Newbury, sent examples of Black 
Hambro Grapes grown on an open wall. They were well ripened, 
but much bruised in transit. 
Mr. Thomas, Royal Gardens, Frogmore, sent a late purple 
Plum named Frogmore Late. The fruits were somewhat 
damaged by frost. 
Sir J. Pease, Hutton Hall, Guisboro', Yorks (gr. J. Mclndoe),
