of Agriculture. "'Cole.' Fruit medium-sized, roundish, inclined to 
oblate, fairly uniform in shape and size. Stem short, slender. Cavity 
rather deep, acute, symmetrical. Calyx small. A beautiful apple, 
highly colored and with a fine aroma. The apple gives evidence of 
being a good keeper and a good shipper, a specimen of this fruit 
forwarded by. Mr. Cole in April reached us in good condition six weeks 
later although packed in an ordinary small wooden box. Other speci- 
mens forwarded July 13, 1923, reached us August 21 in excellent con- 
dition. If this variety proves resistant to woolly aphis as claimed, 
it will prove a valuable acquisition to our apple collection." (B. T. 
Galloway. ) 
"This is a chance seedling, supposed to be a cross between 
'Jonathan' and 'Dutch Mignone. ' The original seedling is still

Victoria, where the seed germinated. The producer first exhibited 
this apple at the fruit carnival held in the Exhibition Buildings, 
Melbourne, in 1912, and won the silver medal for a Victoria-raised 
seedling. The seedling was registered with the Royal Horticultural 
Society of Victoria under the name of 'R. G. Cole's Champion.' The 
writer submitted it under the name of 'Cole's Champion' to the com- 
mittee of the Australia Pomological Society but owing to likely con- 
fusion the word 'Champion' has been dropped, and 'Cole' accepted as 
the future name of this apple. 
"The tree is very productive, and a strong upright grower. The 
wood is dark, becoming reddish with age and lightly speckled with grey
