CC11 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



To Apple ' Lady Falmouth' (votes 6 for, 4 against), from 

 Mr. Geo. Chambers Mereworth. Fruit medium size to small, 

 round, flat, eye in a shallow depression, very short stalk in a 

 narrow opening. Of the type of 1 Court Pendu Plat,' but with 

 smoother skin, and the stalk not so much depressed. Flavour 

 excellent, not unlike Fearn's Pippin. Colour very deep bright 

 crimson. Of free growth and a good cropper. The wood and 

 growth somewhat resembling ' Cox's Orange.' 



Other Exhibits. 



Messrs. Jeffries, Cirencester, sent an Apple ' Reinette 

 Superfine,' which was considered too nearly identical with 

 ' Anne Elizabeth.' 



Mrs. Henry Jackson, Carshalton, sent two unnamed Apples : 

 one was thought to be probably a seedling from ' Winter 

 Hawthornden,' the other was quite unknown. 



Mr. W. Batchelor, Oxbridge sent fruits of ' Cape Goose- 

 berries.' 



The Surrey Seed Co. sent a Potato which was ordered to be 

 tried at Chiswick. 



Mr. J. Grandfield, Acton, sent some Walnuts, in appearance 

 exactly like smooth cobnuts, but of excellent flavour, and to a 

 great extent lacking the bitter inside skin. 



Messrs. Sander & Co., of St. Albans, sent specimen plants of 

 a new dwarf French Bean bearing gigantic pods. It had been 

 grown under glass, but it was suggested it would prove as hardy 

 as other French Beans. It was requested that seed be sent to 

 Chiswick. 



Messrs. Rivers sent a White Grape named ' Gradiska,' very 

 transparent and very firm in the flesh, but with little flavour. 



Mr. T. Canning, Aldenham Park Gardens, Bridgenorth, 

 sent a single specimen of an Apple he had grown from a pip 

 out of one sent him from America. It was in appearance like 

 a very fine 1 Annie Elizabeth,' but it was considered of far better 

 quality, and sweeter — in fact an excellent fruit. Mr. Canning 

 was advised to cultivate it, and send six specimens if possible 

 next year.
