HUNTINGDONSHIRE. 



Exhibitors. 



1. — Mr. A. Haeding, Gardener to the Dowager Marchioness of 

 Huntly, Orton Hall, Peterborough. 



Exhibitor's BemarJcs. — Grown principally on old orchard 

 Standards ; but a few of the largest kinds are from pruned 

 Bushes about 10 years old, and mainly on the Crab stock. 

 Situation, partially sheltered. Soil, a loam, resting on gravel. 

 ( If only two kinds of Apples were to be grown here, the palm 

 would certainly be with Keswick Codlin as a culinary kind, and 

 King of the Pippins as a dessert sort. For annual bearing and 

 general usefulness they are not to be surpassed. 



2. — Messrs. Wood & Ingram, Nurseryimn, Huntingdon. 



Exhibitors' Bemarks. — All grown on Standards, grafted on 

 the Crab in the orchards and market gardens in Cambridgeshire 

 and Huntingdonshire. Situation not sheltered. Soil, a light

 Seedling and Histon Favourite.
