16 IMPROVEMENT OF CITRUS FRUITS THROUGH BUD SELECTION. 



In order to bring these data together so that the records of different 

 years may be easily compared, the following form for showing the 

 total data from each tree for a period of five years is suggested: 



Dates 



Location . 

 Variety . , 



Orange pedigree record. 



Grower. 

 Picker . 



Series 



Grove 



No. of tree. 



The arrangement of the record blanks used for pomelo and lemon 

 data is based on the same principle as the orange record blanks and 

 depends on the prevailing commercial practice of grading and sizing 

 these fruits. These data are obtained in the grove, but where the 

 fruit is held for curing or other purposes additional notes on the con- 

 dition of the stored fruit can be taken when desired. 



ARRANGEMENT OF DATA AND PHOTOGRAPHS. 



The arrangement of data sheets and photographs can be made of 

 great assistance in interpreting the results. The writer uses sheets of 

 paper for the data and photographic prints of convenient size and 

 arranged to fit loose-leaf ledger covers. In this way the sheets may 

 be moved and grouped into any classification desired. It is desirable 

 in the case of the pedigree records to arrange the leaves so that when 

 the book is opened the photographs on one page face the data on the 

 other page. Convenient arrangements will suggest themselves to 

 those interested in studying the question of filing these records.
