In 1923. it was very evident that the Barnes was the only variety 

 showing 100 per cent success on every stock. That was not repeated 

 in 1924, but it still showed a high percentage of success. 



From the comparatively modest percentage of catches 51.5% on 

 the average in 1923! and 37.9% in 1924, one might hastily conclude 

 that the grafting was not skillfully done or that the grafts did not 

 have proper attention afterward, but as noted above the grafting waa 

 done by Dr. Deming, whom I regard as one of the most skillful men

 100% success with a number of varieties, I think any question as to the 

 skill with which the work was done and the care the grafted trees 

 had afterwards can be dismissed. 



It is to be regretted that the number of scions at hand was not
