Suffield, Gunton Park (gr. Mr. Allan). Eye very large and 

 open, filling the entire depression which is very slight ; stalk 

 very short and thick in a very small depression. Round to 

 ovate, resembling in shape Fondante d'Automne ; skin rough, 

 bright brown to yellow ; very juicy and of very fine flavour. A 

 magnificent late Pear. (Fig. 126.) 



To Celery 1 Solid White ' (votes, 9 for, 6 against), from 

 Messrs. Sutton, Reading. Very solid, crisp, and particularly 

 sweet. An excellent variety. 



Cultural Commendation. 



To Mr. Bain, gr. to Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, 

 for magnificent specimens of Celeriac ' Geant de Prague.' 



Other Exhibits. 



Her Majesty the Queen, Windsor (gr. Mr. Owen Thomas), 

 sent Cucumber 1 Frogmore All the Year Round.' The Committee 

 desired to see it in February. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford (gr. Mr. Bain), sent 

 ' Celeriave a feuilles panachees ' and some very fine specimens of 

 ' Couve Tronchuda.' 



Messrs. Kent & Brydon, Darlington, sent ' Brydon's Prize 

 White ' Celery. 



Mr. J. Cross, Bury St. Edmunds, sent 1 Victoria Pink ' 

 Celery. 



C. Lee Campbell, Esq., Glewston Court, sent Apple 

 1 Stamford Pippin.' It was not considered quite good enough 

 for a dessert Apple, and hardly large enough for a cooking 

 variety. 



Mr. A. Outram, Fulham, sent ' Jubilee Red Plume' Celery. 



Edward Williamson, Esq., Congleton, sent fruits of a seedling 

 Apple, ' No. 4.' They were juicy and of good flavour, but small, 

 and the texture of the flesh tough. Mr. Williamson in sending 

 them said : " It is only the second year's fruiting : they will 

 double in size in two years more, and some further increase will 

 take place in the fifth year, after which I never find any further 

 change. Flavour as well as size improve alike for five years." 

 The Committee would be glad to see them in their fifth year.
