» ■ The following report on Marrow ' Rotherside Orange,' exhibited at the previous 
meeting, was submitted by the Rev. W. Wilks : "I consider it an excellent variety. 
If when grown out of doors it is as good, it will, I think, take a high place. It is of 
firmer, more ' meaty,' consistency than any marrow I ever tasted — less watery, 
in fact, which is the general fault of marrows. Its flavour too is excellent."
