GEOUP L— SOUTHEEN COUNTIES. 



SUSSEX. 



Exhibitors. 



1. — James Anderson, Eowfant, Crawley. 



Number of Varieties Exhibited 24 



Observations. — Examples fine, clear skinned. The follow- 

 ing were specially noted : Doyenne du Comice, Van Mons 

 Leon Leclerc, Beurre Diel, Pitmaston Duchess, from wall trees, 

 and Duchesse d'Angouleme from a pyramid on the Quince. 



Exhibitor s Remarks. — South aspect, exposed to east and west 

 winds. Soil, sandy loam ; subsoil, sandy gravel and sand-rock, 

 impregnated with iron. Situation very subject to spring 

 frosts. When the roots get down to the subsoil, the fruit becomes 

 spotted and the flavour is not so good. We lift the trees the 

 second year after receiving them from the nursery, and again 

 in three years ; after that time the roots spread more to the 

 surface by keeping them well mulched. This brings the trees 

 to fruit early, checks rank growth, and when the wood is well 

 ripened the blossom withstands more frost.
