620 Journal of Agriculture, Victoria. [10 Oct., 1916. 



3. Carrington and Lady Carrington. — The name Lady Carrington 

 should not be used. There are two types, red and streaked. These are 

 blight-proof, and are sometimes used for stock, instead of the aSTorthem 

 Spy. Aitken's Seedling, which is not blight-proof, is frequently sold 

 in Victoria as Carrington. Mr. Allen will submit specimens of the 

 complete set of these apples to the next meeting. 



4. Dutch Mignonne. — The South Australian and Harcourt samples 

 were correct. The Tasmanian specimens are to be considered next year. 

 The apple grown in the Burnley Horticultural Gardens as Dutch 

 Mignonne is the South Australian apple Beauty of Australia. This 

 apple takes black spot freely. The apple grown in New South Wales 

 as Beauty of Australia is entirely different from the South Australian 

 variety. 



5. Garibaldiv — This apple was raised at Urailda, in South Australia. 

 There were four exhibits from Tasmania and one from South Australia. 

 The exhibits were all different. The South Australian specimens were 

 accepted as correct, but the apple is not recommended for planting. It 

 is possible that the Tasmanian specimens may be Ridgway's Red. This 

 fruit will be considered next year. 



6. Crofton. — This apple was raised in Tasmania, and is one of 

 Tasmania's best seedlings. It is an excellent apple, and good for cool 

 storing; it takes aphis only slightly. The name Crofton was adopted, 

 and the fruit recommended for planting in cool climates for late dessert 

 purposes. 



7. Foster, raised in Gippsland, Victoria. — Reputed blight-proof, and 

 is possibly a seedling of the Northern Spy. Although there are several 

 American apples of the same name, the committee decided to retain the 

 name Foster, and not recommend it for export planting. 



Consideration of Seedlings. 



The following seedling apples and pears were forwarded to the 

 committee for consideration : — 



1. Beauty of Australia or Australian Beauty. — This is a chance 

 seedling raised in South Australia by Mr. Bonython, of Summertown; 

 it takes black spot badly and woolly aphis slightly. On account of the 

 fact that the fruit has been exported to England satisfactorily, the 

 committee approved of the naming of the seedling. 



2. Glenone. — An apple raised by Mr. McKeown, of Dromana, Vic- 

 toria. It is a seedling from Oslin, and is reputed blight-proof, and also 

 that the wood will strike from cuttings. The name was approved of, 

 but the apple was not recommended for general planting. 



3. Streamville, raised by Mr. Murphy, of Arthur's Creek, Victoria. 

 — It has been shipped successfully; it is a fair quality apple, and has a 

 good colour, and will be reported upon at next meeting. 



4. Croton, raised Ranelagh, Tasmania.— Several cases shipped to 

 England brought 15s. a bushel. It grows well on poor soil, and is 

 fairly free from woolly aphis; was awarded first prize at the Inter- 

 State Fruit Show, Hobart, 1914, as a new variety. The name was con- 

 firmed. 



5. Mayhew's Seedling. — There was nothing of special note in this 

 apple. It was decided to hold it over for consideration at next meeting.
