To Apple ' Edwin Beckett ' (votes unanimous), from the Hon. 

 Vicary Gibbs, Aldenham (gr. Mr. E. Beckett). Fruit very large, 

 similar in form, colour, and general appearance to ' Peasgood None- 

 such,' but distinct in foliage and growth. Flesh also similar to 

 ' Peasgood Nonesuch,' but quite distinct when cooked. This variety 

 originated amongst seedlings growing in the allotment gardens at 

 Elstree ; no attention has been given to the tree since germination, 

 but the Sub-Committee who inspected the tree reported that it was 

 a good grower, carrying a heavy crop of large fruits. (Figs. 119, 120.)
