 South Australia. Aitken is a conicallj-ribbed and red-streaked apple. 



" Goondarin," formerly " Brown's Pippin ". — Ripe in February, of 

 very good colour and form, similar to Tasman's Pride. Slightly 

 affected with woolly aphis. It is a good local apple, and has commer- 

 cial possibilities for early export. 



" Cowell," formerly " Cowell's Red Streak ". — A good eating apple, 

 very early, ripens first or second week in January. Recommended as 

 an early apple for coastal districts in 'New South "Wales. 



'' Tasman's Pride ". — Considered a very good apple, rather free from 

 black spot, and subject to Avoolly aphis. It is not recommended for 

 planting in large areas for export. 



" Glengyle ". — Was approved in 1914. It is recommended for plant- 

 ing in place of Rome Beauty in Victoria and South Australia ; is to be 

 further tested in l^ew South Wales and Tasmania; is possibly a very 

 suitable apple, and would colour well in West Australia and Tasmania. 



" Brown's Red ". — An apple from Goondarin Creek, reported as not 

 subject to woolly aphis. Might be useful for stock. 



'' Teralba Seedling ". — Apple from H. Hansen, Cardiff, reported as 

 blight-proof, a good keeper, not attractive in appearance, possibly useful 

 only for stock ; to be called " Teralba."
