CXCVi PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Messrs. R. Hartland, Lough, Cork, sent Apple ‘ Ahern 
Beauty,’ of a most brilliant pink-scarlet colour; large, very 
conical; eye half closed in a very ridged basin occupying the 
whole of the summit of the fruit; stalk in a deep depression. 
Fruit and Vegetable Committee, December 13, 1898. 
Philip Crowley, Esq., in the Chair, and twenty members 
present. 
Exhibits 
Mr. Chas. Seden, Amwell House, sent a seedling Apple 
‘ Arthur Tite ’ (King of the Pippins ? x Kerry Pippin J 1 ). A 
small very conical yellow fruit flushed with red; eye closed in 
a basin occupying the whole of the summit; stalk long in a 
deepish depression. ‘ Kerry Pippin ’ did not appear to have 
Fig. 126. —Tubers of Oxalis crenata. ( Gardeners ’ Chronicle .) 
affected the progeny much, but the flavour was distinctly superior 
to ‘ King of the Pippins.’ 
Mr. W. Shingles, Melton Constable, sent a seedling Grape 
(‘ Gros Colmar ’ x ‘ Lady Hastings ’). The cross seemed to have 
had very little if any effect, the seedling being very little, if at 
all, superior to Gros Colmar and resembling it very closely.
