from 100 pounds to the maximum stated. These data, for our 

 purpose, are not misleading. Careful records of the yield of mature 

 fruit from all the heavy yielding varieties grown in the Station 

 orchard gave the following data:

As will be observed, there are no yield records for 1913 following 

 the severe freeze. The data taken the following years show con- 

 clusively, however, that certain varieties are not injured perma- 

 nently, but recover and produce full yields after one or two years. 



While the above table does not show the edible fruit (including 

 sour fruit), the comparison does show the recovery of the tree as 

 well as the comparative frost injury of the more hardy forms of figs. 



In order to show the dates of picking and the yield per picking 

 for the more important varieties investigated, the following table 

 is included"
