86 EXPLANATION OF PLATES, 



FRONTISPIECE. 



Dunn's (Munroe's) Favourite, picked on the green side for export when quite free from 

 Pit and placed in cold storage on 1st February. The temperature in the cool 

 store was allowed to fluctuate between 34 and 45 degrees Fahr., with the result 

 that after about six weeks the apples were badly pitted when removed. 



London Pippin, grown at Dromana, Victoria, and picked by myself on 15th February. 

 The specimen shows both Pit and "crinkle" or confluent Bitter Pit. 



Seedling apple, named "Glenone," grown in the same orchard, suitable for culinary 

 and dessert purposes, and which has not so far shown any sign of Bitter Pit.
