destructive careers, so that practically the apples were uninjured, 

 although the cause for future injury was present. Such apples were 

 nevertheless considered as wormy, and were graded second-class. 



For convenience in comparison, all the figures in the following pages 

 show percentages^ The first column, and the ones giving the weight of 

 the fruit, are of course excepted. 



The results from only three varieties are tabulated. Some of the 

 other varieties contained in the orchard produced no fruit. Others, 

 especially the Red Astrachan, could not be obtained to make com- 

 parisons as the fruit was sold as soon as it was fit for market. In 

 general, however, this variety gave nearly as marked results as those 

 obtained from the Fall Pippin or the Maiden Blush. A third reason 

 for omitting certain varieties from the table is that no definite results 

 were obtained. The subject is more fully treated on page 275. 



Vnsprayed plots. — Two King trees, situated in different parts of the 

 orchard, were used as checks in order to have a substantial basis with 

 which to compare the results obtained from the sprayed trees of this 

 variety. One-half of a Fall Pippin tree was used as a check, there 

 being only four trees of this variety in the orchard. The orchard con- 

 tains but one tree of Maiden Blush, so that only one-half of this could 

 be used as a check. However, from the appearance of other apples of 

 these last two varieties, borne in the neighborhood, the fruit produced 

 upon the unsprayed portions showed well the comparative value of 

 untreated apples.
