 attracted a good deal of attention. Also a very handy and very 

 cheap box for storing fruit and for ' sprouting ' early Potatos. 



Mr. J. R. Stevens, Hassocks, sent some pots of his early 

 forcing Strawberry, named ' Stevens's Wonder.' Also a box. of 

 picked fruit of the same. 



J. G. Morris, Esq., Allerton Priory, Liverpool (gr. Mr. 

 Craven), sent some dishes of a rare Apple named 'Pomeroy of 

 Lancashire.' The blossom of the tree is of such a lovely pink 

 that it is said to be worthy of cultivation for that reason alone ; 

 it is, however, an excellent cooking variety as well as a good 

 keeper. Mr. Craven strongly recommends it for gardens in the 

 North of England. 



J. R. Saw, Esq., Bernard Street, Russell Square, sent a 

 Seedling Apple of the 1 Bess Pool ' type, named ' Beauty Pippin.' 



H. Balderson, Esq., Hemel Hempstead, sent a Seedling 

 Apple, called 1 Scott's Prolific,' resembling both ' Wadhurst 

 Pippin ' and ' Beauty of Kent.' Fruit large, flat-sided, conical, 

 short thick stalk, eye slightly depressed in an uneven depression ; 

 streaked with red.
