FRUIT COMMITTEE, OCTOBER 10. 



cxliii 



To Mr. 0. Thomas, The Eoyal Gardens, Windsor, for a fine 

 Smooth Cayenne Pine Apple, grown from a rootless sucker planted 

 in September 1892. 



To Lord Foley, Euxley Lodge, Esher (gr. Mr. J. Miller), for 

 a Pumpkin weighing 154 lbs. 



Other Exhibits. 



From the Society's Gardens, Chiswick, were exhibited four 

 varieties of European Grapes, viz. Eoyal Muscadine, Espiran, 

 Miller's Burgundy, and Chasselas Eose, grown and ripened on an 

 open wall. Also four American varieties, viz. Brighton, 

 Moore's Early (small round black), Virginius, and Duchess 

 (white). The flavour of the American varieties was by some 

 considered to be extremely nice, although peculiar and very distinct 

 from the European Grapes. 



Mr. Tayler, Osborn's Nursery, Hampton, exhibited a red 

 Grape named Princess Olga de Wiirtemberg, which proved to be 

 identical with the old Chasselas Eose. 



Mr. Molyneux, Swanmore Park, Bishop's Waltham, sent 

 large and fine fruits of Bramley's Seedling Apple. 



Mr. Joseph Lane, Palgrave, Diss, Norfolk, sent six fruits of 

 Grosse Calebasse Pear weighing 7 lbs. 6 oz., and a pretty 

 seedling Apple not quite in condition. 



Messrs. Cheal & Sons, Crawley, exhibited 12 dishes of new 

 and little known Apples, some well worthy of attention. 



Messrs. E. Veitch & Sons, Exeter, submitted examples of 

 Marie Louise Pears from a tree grafted on the Jargonelle — to 

 show the influence of the stock — the fruits being very much 

 altered in character. 



Messrs. Lane & Son exhibited some very large and handsome 

 examples of Lane's Prince Albert Apple. 



Messrs. Eivers & Son, Sawbridgeworth, sent fruits of the 

 purple -fruited Crab, a variety very pleasant to the palate. 



S. G. Lutwyche, Esq., Eden Park, Beckenham, sent a dish 

 of Improved Perfection Tomato; and Mr. Mortimer, Swiss 

 Nursery, Farnham, sent Tomato Jones's Perfection. 



From the Society's Gardens, Chiswick, were sent the several
