GROUP VII. SCOTLAND. 



7. — Wm. Smith, Oxenford Castle Gardens, Midlothian. 



Number of Varieties Exhibited ... ... ... ... 44 



Ohservations. — Examples small, and of poor appearance, those 

 of Souvenir du Congres excepted, which were very fine. 



Exhibitor's Remarks. — The fruits exhibited were grown on 

 w^alls, the trees fan-trained, and from 35 to 40 years old, on the 

 Eree stock; they are pruned summer and winter on the spur 

 system. Last summer was very dry and cold, so that the fruit 

 is very much smaller than usual. They bear freely every year, 

 but are always late.
