CXC PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Percy (gr. Mr. Wythes), Syon House. Fruit small, conical, dark 
green, densely netted, scarlet flesh. 
To Plum ‘ Primate ’ (votes, 12 for, 1 against), from Messrs. 
Rivers, of Sawbridge worth. Very large indeed, egg-shaped, red 
covered with a lovely peach bloom. Equally good for cooking 
or dessert. A very fine addition to our late Plums. (Fig. 124.) 
Other Exhibits. 
Mr. Martin sent from Stoneleigh Abbey Gardens a new 
seedling Apple ; but it was badly infested with the fungus, which 
forms little round*black spots underneath the skin.

Mr. J. Williams sent from Whitbourne Hall Gardens a fruit 
of Ficus repens like a small, long, shrivelled Fig. 
Mr. R. Yeitch, of Exeter, sent Potato ‘Walter Raleigh.’ 
Cecil S. Shepherd, Esq., Trosby, Maidstone, sent a new 
seedling Peach, ‘ Princess May.’ The fruits were both in appear¬ 
ance and flavour very like ‘ Alexandra Noblesse,’ one of if not the 
best of all Peaches. The Committee thought very highly of it
