FBUIT AND VEGETABLE COMMITTEE, MAHCU 20 & APRIL 3. CXXxix 



to the Marquis of Salisbury, Hatfield, and for many years a valuable 

 member of this Committee. This was endorsed by Messrs. Cheal, Lyne, 

 Thomas, Beckett, and Millard, who all spoke feelingly of the great loss 

 to the Committee and to horticulture sustained by the death of Mr. 

 Norman. 



Fruit and Vegetable Committee, March 20, 1906. 

 Mr. G. BuNYARD, V.M.H., in the Chair, and sixteen members present. 



Awards Recommended :— 



Silver-gilt Kniglitian Medal. 



To King's Acre Nursery Co., Hereford, for a collection of Apples. 

 To Messrs. Rivers, Sawbridgeworth, for Oranges and Lemons. 



Aiuard of Merit. 



To New Fruit Bottle (votes unanimous), from the French Flint Glass 

 Bottle Co., Aldersgate Street, E.C. This is the best bottle we have seen 

 for bottling fruit, as the cap is glass instead of metal, fitting on to a 

 rubber ring, and is kept tight and in place by another cap, which screws 

 on the top of the bottle. In this way the fruit is perfecty air-tight, and 

 will keep sound for an indefinite period. 



Cultural Commendation. 



To Mr. Cook (gr. to Sir E. G. Loder, Bart., Leonardslee, Horsham), 

 for Broccoli. 



Other Exhibit. 



Mr. P. Le Cornu, Queen's Road, Jersey, sent fruit of Apple ' Jersey 

 Beauty,' a very handsome variety, but not of good flavour.
