8. — Mr. Chaeles Gould Sclater, Devon Nurseries, Heavitree 

 Bridge, near Exeter. 



Exhibitor's Bemarhs. — Situation, very exposed to the winds 

 from Dartmoor ; soil of two kinds, viz., one a light sand, the other 

 a red gravel resting on the New Eed Sandstone. 



General Bemarhs. — The trees are of all ages; as old ones fail, 

 young ones are planted to fill up. They are all Standards, some 

 of them very old. The trees are pruned and thinned every two 

 or three years as they require it ; they are principally worked on 

 Gribbles." I find the soil of the Eed Sandstone formation is 

 better adapted for apples than the sandy soil, the first being 

 much cleaner and of a better colour. 



4. — Messrs. R. T. Veitch & Sons, Nurserymen, Exeter. 



Exhibitors' Bemarhs. — The Cider varieties are mostly grown 

 in orchard, the others in nursery, on small Pyramid trees on the 

 Crab and English Paradise. The trees are frequently lifted, and 

 get httle pruning excepting in summer. Situation exposed, facing 

 the north. Soil, a heavy loam, one foot deep ; subsoil, clay.
