Award of Merit. 



To Strawberry ' George Monro ' (votes, unanimous), from H. Staples, 

 Esq., Swanley. A cross between ' Royal Sovereign ' and ' Sir Chas. Napier.' 

 In shape and size of the fruit it resembles the former, but the leaves show 

 distinct signs of ' Sir Chas. Napier.' It appears to be an exceedingly 

 prolific variety, and the large bunches of fruit are held well out from the 

 leaves. The flavour is excellent, and judging from the plants exhibited 

 it is very vigorous. 



Other Exhibits. 



Countess Cowper, Pangshanger : Lettuce. 



Mr. H. P. Fitzgerald, Condhurst : forced vegetables.
