HAMPSHIRE. 



Exhibitors. 



1. — The Eev. J. L. Carrick, Spring Hill, Soutliampton. 



Number of Varieties Exhibited ... ... ... ... 14 



Observations. — Examples small. Beurre Clairgeau was noted 

 for its high colouring, Grosse Calebasse was very tine and large, 

 Dana's Hovey small, but of fine quality. 



Exhibitor s Remarks. — Situation moderately sheltered, open to 

 south and south-east, much sloping to east. Soil, partly gravel, 

 partly clayey. The finer fruits are from the heavier soil. I find 

 Pears succeed very poorly on the Quince stock compared Avith those 

 on the Pear. Many of the kinds grown here do not bear well till 

 they are about 12 or 15 years old. 



2. — Viscount Eversley, Heckfield Place, \Vinchfield. 



AVildsmith, Gardener.) 



Number of Varieties Exhibited ... ... ... ... 90 



Observations. — One of the most meritorious collections ex- 

 hibited, the specimens in nearly every instance being large, 

 handsome, and well grown, of excellent quality, and correctly 

 named. It was extremely interesting to note the different and 

 altered appearances of the fruits in this collection as grown on the 

 Quince or Pear stocks — the superiority of the Quince being very 

 manifest. The following were noted as specially fine, viz. : 

 Urbaniste, Beurre Clairgeau, Beurre de Capiaumont, Dm-ondeau,
