Fruit and Vegetable Committee, April 9, 1918. 

 Mr. J. Cheal, V.M.H., in the Chair, and seven members present. 



Awards Recommended : — 



Bronze Knightian Medal. 

 To Mr. W. Peters, Leatherhead, for Apples. 



Award of Merit. 



To Apple ' Herbert's Prolific ' (votes unanimous), from Mr. T. Herbert, 

 Redhill, Surrey. The growth, foliage, and fruit somewhat closely resembles 

 ' Bramley's Seedling,' but it is much earlier in time of coming into use, the fruit 

 being at its best at the end of the year, whereas ' Bramley's Seedling ' keeps sound 

 and good till the late spring. The exhibitor says it is quite distinct and his 

 opinion was endorsed by the deputation who went to see the tree in fruit. 



Other Exhibit.
