CXVi PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 

 First-class Certificate. 



To Himalayan Blackberry (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. 

 Laxton, Bedford. Grown at Wisley. The plant is a vigorous grower, 

 producing very large trusses of fruit. The crop is heavy and extends 

 over a long period — at least two months. The fruit is very large, 

 quite black, of excellent flavour, but rather more acid than our native 

 blackberry. 



Award of Merit. 



To Nectarine ' Milton ' (votes, unanimous), from Lord Hillingdon 

 (gr. Mr. A. R. Allan), Uxbridge. A comparatively old variety raised 

 by Messrs. Rivers. Fruit large, handsome j skin very dark red on the 

 exposed side ; flesh greenish white, but tinged with red near the 

 stone, very juicy and of excellent flavour. When grown outside 

 the fruit is fit for use about the middle of September. The tree is 

 said to be a good grower and a free bearer. 



To Plum ' Allgrove's Superb ' (votes, unanimous), from Mr. J. C. 

 Allgrove, Slough. This variety is a sport from the well-known 

 ' J eff erson ' and possesses all the good qualities of that variety, but 

 differs in the colour, which is reddish violet. The time of ripening 

 is two or three weeks earlier than that of * Jefferson ' (fig. 92).
