To Dessert Apple 1 Blue Pearmain ' (votes, 13 for, 1 against), 

 from the Society's Gardens at Chiswick. Of large size ; high 

 conical shape ; excellent flavour ; good appearance, the skin 

 being yellow, almost entirely covered with flecks and streaks of 

 crimson, and these again speckled all over with minute dusty 

 spots. A very fine late Dessert Apple. 



To Cucumber 1 Frogmore Winter Prolific ' (votes, 10 for, 



Fig. 4.— Apple ' Goodwood Pippin.' {Gardeners'' Chronicle.) 



3 against), from Her Majesty the Queen (gr. Mr. Owen Thomas). 

 A cross between 1 Rochford's Market ' and ' Lockie's Perfection.' 



Award of Merit. 



To Apple ' Goodwood Pippin ' (under name ' Lincolnshire 

 Reinette ') (votes, unanimous), from his Grace the Duke of 

 Richmond and Gordon, Goodwood (gr. Mr. R. Parker). The 

 correctness of the name and its suitability is a little doubtful as 

 the fruit shown was gathered from a tree in the Duke's gardens
