 iPrunus persica Stokes.)

 51165 to 51179. Malus sylvestris Mill. .Malacese. Apple. 



51165. ''Aerial, aphis resistant, used as a stock." 



51166. "Alpha, aphis-resistant seedling from Irish Peach. The fruit 

 is twice as large as the parent and much earlier. I consider it 

 the earliest apple in existence. It is a gold mine to the fruit 

 grower on account of its size, flavor, and extreme earliness; it 

 is aphis proof and very productive. I predict a great demand 

 for this apple as soon as I put it on the market, and when largely 

 planted here, I think it will give the consignments of Canadian 

 apples that arrive here in early summer a very nasty bump." 



The parent, Irish Peach, is described in the Wright catalogue 

 as "A medium-sized oblong fruit with clear yellow skin hand- 

 somely striped with bright red. The yellowish white flesh is 

 tender and very juicy; the tree is a regular cropper and aphis 

 proof." 



51167. Ballarat, a large cooking apple, and a great cropper; not 

 aphis resistant, but well worth growing."

 resistant, and used as a stock.**

 sistant, and used as a stock."

 apple, said to be Rome Beauty X Jonathan cross; not aphis re- 

 sistant, but well worth growing."
