what the possible quality might be later, but it seemed to be a promising 

 seedling. 



Mr. Peck, of Balhannah, submitted a seedling apple raised by 

 Peck, of Williamstown, known variously as Barossa Seedling, Barossa 

 Beauty, and Peck's Seedling. It keeps well in cool storage, and comes 

 out of the stores in August with a better flavour than Rome Beauty. 



Mr. John Wren, of Houghton, submitted an apple seedling of good 

 possibilities. 



Pears. 



" Judd's Beurre ".• — A late pear, of good flavour ; the " Beurre " to 

 be dropped. 



" Late Umlauff ". — Sent by A. B. Robin, and raised by Umlauff 

 from imported seed. Profitable with Mr. Robin on account of its long- 

 keeping qualities; picked in April, and ripe in August-September after 

 being kept in fruit house; very resistant to fusicladium; quality only 

 medium for dessert ; may probably be of use as a good stewing pear. 



A. B. Robin submitted two seedling pears: — (a) "Late Umlauff x 

 Beurre Clairgean " (like Beurre Superfin) ; and (/>) "Josephine x 

 Forelle," a very handsome pear. 



Revision of Names. 



'' Dunns ". — Dunn's Favourite to be known in future as Dunns. 

 "' Esopus ". — Esopus Spitzenberg, conforming to American custom, 

 to be known as Esopus. 



" Wolseley ". — Lord Wolseley to be known as Wolseley. 

 " Mcintosh ". — Mcintosh Red to be known as Mcintosh. 



Additional Reports. 



The following reports on previously approved seedlings were 

 received : — 



Apples. 



" Trevitt ". — This name is incorrectly spelt as Trevett in the 1917 

 report. 



" Prince Alfred " apples does not thrive in warm climates ; is a very- 

 good cooker, and, being large, is more used for dressing shop windows 

 than for export, although it is occasionally shipped to England. Mr. 

 Shoobridge reported that he had seen twenty apples fill a bushel case. It 

 is not recommended for extensive planting. 



" Statesman " apple. — -It is not favoured in N^ew South "Wales, 

 where it is reputed to have no flavour; is not grown in South Australia. 

 It is well and frequently grown in Victoria, where it has a good flavour. 

 Will keep well. Grown extensively in Tasmania, does well, and is well- 

 flavoured. Mr. Thiele reported that it never depreciates in value 

 after being in cool storage, and is quite crisp when it comes out. Does 

 not colour very well in any of the States. 



" Ranelagh " apple. — Considered to have good commercial possi- 

 bilities ; reported to be free from black spot. 



" Tasma " apple. — Some nurserymen are still wrongly calling this 

 apple Democrat. Keeps well in Tasmania out of cold storage till 

 October. It is doing well in Adelaide.
