THE MONTHLY BULLETIN. 



The following table shows the fertilizer elements applied to each 

 of the tw^enty plats and the average yield per tree for the first five fruit- 

 ing years in number of fruits per tree. The trees were only seven years 

 old at the time the last crop was harvested, and it must be remembered 

 that the crop of young trees is for several years very light. The crop 

 of last year more than equaled the crop of all preceding years.
