The table does not show the missing trees. The varieties that 

 have l5een removed are White Neri, Salmo Sambach, Celestial, 

 Maslin Capri No. 43, and one tree each of Maslin Capri No. 91, 

 Capri Milco, and Capri Elanford. 



The orchard had been trained to a single standard. There are 

 at this time the Cernica, Mission, Rose Blanche, Magnolia, Capri 

 No. 3, Capri Milco (two trees), Bardajic, Capri No. 2, Salmo 

 Sambach, Capri No. 1, Lob Injir, Black Smyrna, Lemon, Bulletin 

 Smyrna, and Black Adriatic that have not been killed back to the 

 root. The remaining varieties are now producing two to six 

 standards — mostly three to four. Table IV "gives the number of 

 stems for each plant, condition of the plant, together with height and 

 spread of top, and length of new growth. These data give a good 

 i dea of the comparative hardiness of individual trees. 



Fig. 4. — rView of the third section of 2 trees. Note condition of the trees in row B, and group 

 of weak trees with a third lot of healthy plants. To the left of row A and in the background may 

 be seen a large specimen of Bulletin Smyrna which is also free from winter injury. From photo- 

 graph taken by W. H. Lawrence. 



Influence of temperature. — The condition of the plants is largely 

 due to the severe weather occurring from December 26, 1912, to 

 January 15, 1913, which was conspicuously abnormal. The follow- 

 ing table shows the character of the weather for that period.
