apple is required. The two trees at the Arlington Farm are moderate 
growers and so far have teen light croppers. The habit of growth is 
upright, more like that of a pear than an apple. Following is a des- 
cription of the fruit: 
Sabla sinap. No. 10345. Nikita, Crimea. Introduced 
in January, 1904, 
Fruit medium size, nearly barrel shaped, and 
inclined to be oblate; stem short, thin; cavity 
shallow, acute; calyx medium size, closed; basin 
abrupt, moderately deep, wrinkled and ribbed; skin 
tough, thickish, glossy, pale yellow with beauti- 
ful deep red blush covering more than half the sur- 
face; core large; seeds medium size, wedge shaped; 
flesh rather coarse, yellowish white, somewhat 
tough, lacking in flavor, and of fair quality. 
A very striking and beautiful apple on account 
of its shape and color, but of indifferent qual- 
ity. Season October. 
malus sylvestris (Malaceae), 6734 and 6738. Apples. Something over 
twenty years ago a collection of apples was received by the Office of 
Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction from C. A. Nobelius, of Emerald, 
Victoria. There were twenty-three varieties in this collection, and 
it is with two of these that this note is concerned. Scions of both 
the above numbers were quite widely distributed in June, 1901, but no 
records came to hand as to the results of the introduction until this 
year (1922). Both apples fruited at the Arlington Farm and, inasmuch 
as no descriptions of them are available, having been introduced mere- 
ly under numbers and names, the following is set down as a matter of 
record: 
Kooroochiang. No. 6734. Emerald, Victoria. Intro- 
duced in June, 1901. 
Fruits large to very large, uniform in shape; 
form roundish, slightly oblate, occasionally 
slightly ribbed; stem short, rather slender; 
cavity acute, deep and narrow; russet streaked; 
calyx small; basin shallow, rather narrow, fur- 
rowed and wrinkled; skin tough, pale yellow with 
pale carmine blush on one side; core small; seeds 
few, large; flesh white, firm, rather coarse 
grained, crisp and juicy, with a decidedly acid
