Grown by Mr. Walter Pepworth of Pepworth, near Ladysmith, and taken from his farm to Vereeniging by Mr. McLaren, who called it the I^adysmith for want of another name. It prob- ably originated from Cham- pion White Pearl, which it resembles in its beaked o-rain, and it is known by "that name among many far- mers inNatal. But it differs in other respects (larger size, later maturity, better yield, etc.) from typical Champion White Pearl as imported by the writer some years ago, and grown for several years at the Botanical Experi- mental Station, Pretoria, and the Government Ex- periment Farm, Potchef- stroom. Ladysmith is a late- maturing breed, and best 301 feeder, CHAP.
