THE FLOKIST. 
bitter, showing how very decided the cross has been. Here, then, 
is a bitter-kernelled Stanwick, for both the leaves and flowers as 
well as the fruit are Stanwick. It is called the Victoria Nectarine, 
and it was awarded a First-class Certificate. 
Mr. Rivers also exhibited another Seedling Nectarine called 
Pine Apple, which was not quite ripe; and another from the New 
White, which was very rich in flavour. 
George F. Wilson, Esq., of Gishurst Cottage, Weybridge, sent 
a dish of magnificent Louise Bonne of Jersey Pears, among the 
largest we have ever seen of that variety. They were grown in 
pots in an orchard-house, but moved out of doors during the 
summer months, v/here they were brought to the excellent con¬ 
dition in which they were exhibited. The flesh was very tender, 
melting, and juicy, and the flavour delicious. Mr. Wilson also 
exhibited a large specimen of Melon Apple. 
A Seedling Apple called Jedburgh Abbey, was received from 
Mr. William Deans, Nurseryman, Jedburgh, N.B. It is of medium 
size, conical shape, and with a smooth, yellow skin. The flesh is 
briskly flavoured and tender. It is said to be a very regular and 
abundant bearer. The opinion of the Committee was that this 
might be considered a good summer kitchen Apple; and from its 
tender flesh and agreeable brisk flavour would be valuable for 
apple jelly, the Keswick Codlin being the variety which is now 
most used for that purpose. 
Mr. Newton, of East Lodge, Enfield Chase, exhibited specimens 
of Devonshire Quarrenden, Kerry Pippin, and Yellow Ingestrie. 
TRADE LISTS. 
List of Bulbs cultivated and imported by E. G. Henderson ^ 
Sony Wellington Road Nursery. Autumn, 1861. 
The Bulb List is classified and described with the Messrs. 
Henderson’s usual care. There is, in addition, several novelties 
in the miscellaneous class, in the way of Caladiums and fine- 
foliaged plants (becoming more popular every day) which parties 
interested in ornamental gardening should avail themselves of. 
In this department, as well as in bulbous rooted plants, the List 
is rich and complete. 
Catalogue of Bulbous Roots and Tulips imported and sold 
by Charles Turner, Royal Nurseries, Slough. 
A very complete and select Bulb List. Respecting the Tulips 
offered, we can only say that, as Mr. Turner’s collection is decidedly 
unique, the List also comprises the gems of the celebrated Slough 
collection, as well as those of all our best growers, and it should 
be in the hands of every Tulip fancier.
