PLATE XL. 



Figs. 



55. Seedling apple tree named "Glenone," first grown from seed 15 years ago at Dromana 



on own roots. The knobs visible on the trunk and branches are adventitious 

 or dormant buds (15/2/15). 



56. Calipers with self-recording arrangement whereby the amount of growth of apples 



on the tree was measured. 



57. Double Cleopatra apple, perfectly sound, with two stalks, two eyes, and two cores. 



58. The Mistletoe (Lornnthus pe/idulus) on Lady Daley apple tree in Burnley Gardens. 



This appeared towards the end of August, 1914, but owing to the hot weather and 

 the drought it gradually shrivelled up. This is the first record in the Gardens 

 for apple trees, and Mr. Lang informs me that he only observed it at Harcourt 

 some years ago on Merritt's Royal Pearmaiii.
