 was decided to have further specimens at next Conference, and also to 

 have specimens of the same variety from Victoria. 



Tetofshy. — Grown by A. Hunter, The Penang, Gosford. This was 

 determined by the Committee to be the Russian apple Tetofsky. It is 

 of poor quality, and is not recommended for planting.

 of Flower of Kent, as grown at Harcourt, Victoria. 



Mr. Chilton submitted another apple obtained from Tasmania. He
