scribed by Senor Izquierdo as a large, excellent au- 
tumn fruit. The tree is very productive." 
54300. "'Huldobro.' Also known as 'Araucana' and 
1 Araucana Huidobro. ' This is said to have originated 
in Chile on the Hacienda of Senor Vicente G. Huidobro 
from an Italian seed. The tree is described as very 
vigorous and productive, the fruit is medium to large, 
yellow, of firm texture, sweet, aromatic, and juicy. 
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 
sometimes November. Its shipping qualities are excel- 
lent . 
"'Huidobro' cannot be strongly recommended as a 
dessert apple, and is not introduced as such; Immunity 
from the attacks of the woolly aphis is the quality 
which gives it interest and makes it valuable in Chile 
and perhaps elsewhere. Senor Izquierdo has found that 
plants of this variety grafted on seedling apple roots 
will be attacked by the aphis only from the roots upward 
to the union of stock and scion, not a single insect 
ever passing on to the scion to carry on his nefarious 
activities . 
"Because of this characteristic, It is possible 
that 'Huidobro' may have, value in the United States as 
a stock plant on which to graft other and better va- 
rieties of the apple.
