South Devon and Newton Abbott Agricultural So¬ 
ciety and Toultry Show. —This was held at Newton 
Abbott, on the 8th of November. 
The collection of Messrs. William E. Rendle and Co., 
seedsmen, Plymouth, comprised some very superior bulbs, 
and among them we noticed the far-famed “ Orange Jelly 
Turnip,” which was exhibited in much perfection. The 
seed was not sown till August, and the bulb was of a good 
size ; this will prove a most excellent turnip for late sowing. 
We also observed some very fine bulbs of Mr. Rendle’s 
Purple Top Swede, a sort now coming into general use. It 
is a very hardy variety, and produces a great bulk per acre. 
We understand that it is very much esteemed by all who 
have grown it. There were also specimens of Skirving’s Im¬ 
proved Swede—a well known sort of established merit—and 
by their side some beautiful specimens of Laing’s Sym¬ 
metrical variety, as also some good roots of Matson’s Swede, 
Ashcroft Swede, Rivers’Early Stubble Swede—a sort held in 
high repute as a late sowing variety—the Yellow or Tan¬ 
kard Swede, Green Top Scotch Turnips, Hood’s Imperial 
Yellow, and Skirving’s Purple Scotch, Green Top, Bullock, 
Lincolnshire Red Globe, Purple Top Aberdeen, Gordon’s 
Yellow Globe, a most valuable Scotch Turnip, presented to 
the Exhibitors by Alexander Gordon, Esq., Culter House, 
November 24. 
Aberdeen ; Rivers’ Large Yellow Stone, the Woolton Hybrid, 
Dale’s Hybrid, and several others of established merit.
