 To C. E. Baring Young, Esq. (gr. Mr. Walker), East Barnet, 

 for fruit. 



Award of Merit. 



To Apple 1 Maidstone Favourite ' (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. 

 Bunyard, Maidstone. Fruit of medium size, perfectly shaped, flattish ; 

 skin almost entirely coloured with red spots ; eye partly open, with 

 slightly incurved segments set in a shallow, even basin. Stalk half 

 an inch long, inserted in a rather deep russety cavity. Flesh white, 

 soft, juicy, and of pleasant flavour. Tree of sturdy habit and a good 

 bearer. It should prove a valuable market apple for dessert, as it 

 comes into use between ' Beauty of Bath ' and 1 Worcester Pearmain.' 

 It is a seedling from ' Emperor Alexander ' probably crossed with 

 ' Beauty of Bath/ which it somewhat resembles in appearance, but it 

 is larger and later. (Fig. 143.)
