The new case introduced two years ago had effected a change for the better and New Zealand apples had arrived in England in- prime condition. Mr Stephens mentioned that iii his opinion, New Zealand was sending to England too many varieties of apples, and there was a .chance of .some of the lesser known varieties being neglected. The most popular were Cox’s, Grannie Smith. Jonathans. Stunner, Statesman, Delicious and Dunns.
