 dark red.

 veloped in New Zealand. 



247024. 'Cox's Orange'. (Standard type). The famous English variety. A 

 leading commercial variety in the Baltic-North Sea apple belts. Less 

 popular than 10 years ago as fruit from older trees tends to become small 

 and the variety is exacting in soil and culture. 



247025. 'Huidobro'. A Chilean variety that is woolly-aphis resistant under 

 Argentine conditions. This variety thrives in the warmer parts of the 

 apple zone where grapes are grown commercially. The fruit is bright 

 yellow, has a high sugar content, and fair flavor. May be of value for 

 rootstock breeding.
