by Sr. don Salvador Izquierdo through Wilson Popenoe, Agricultural 
Explorer. A medium-sized fruit for fall and winter use. Its

54647. MALUS SYLVESTRIS. Apple. From Chile. Presented by the 
Institute Agricola Bunster, through Wilson Popenoe, Agricultural Explorer. 
An apple known an Huidobro, and Araucana Huidobro. It is 
said to have originated in the hacienda of Sr. Vicente Huidobro, from 
an Italian seed. The tree is described as very vigorous and productive, 
the fruit medium-sized, yellow, of firm texture, and very sweet flavor. 
Its ripening season is late autumn (April to May in Chile) and 
the fruits can be kept in good condition without cold storage until 
the following October or November. It is not a good dessert apple, 
but in its native home is immune from the woolly aphis, and may prove 
of value as a root stock for other varieties.
