 TABLE 3 {concluded) 



The figures for the individual branches of a given tree vary consider- 

 ably. Casual observations have shown that these differences cannot be 

 explained by the location, angle, or exposure of the branch on the tree, 

 since the differences are sometimes found in similarly located branches. 

 For example, in Rhode Island B 5, branches 1,2, and 3 all came from the 

 top of the tree; in Tompkins King C 2, branches i and 5 were from the 

 south side of the tree, branches 2, 3, and 4 were from the north side, 

 branches 6, 7, and 8 arose from the same parent limb on the southwest 

 side of the tree, branches 9 and 10 were growing upward at an angle of 

 45°, and branches 11, 12, and 13 were drooping. Figures presented later 

 (page 58) afford a probable explanation for the differences noted.
