years. Sections of buds from bearing 

 spurs showed fruit-buds formed for the 

 following year. In this case, the con- 

 dition of the tree as a whole seems to 

 have considerable influence on it. In 

 a year of a very small crop, those spurs 

 which were bearing were as likely to 

 form fruit-buds for the next year as 

 those not bearing. On the other hand, 

 when a tree is bearing a full crop, very 

 few, even of the spurs not bearing, will 

 form fruit-buds for next year. Those 

 spurs that have born fruit previously 

 but are out of bearing the current year, 

 showing less variation in time of difTer- 

 entiation and more uniformity of de- 

 velopment than is shown by fruit-buds 

 on spurs that have born in previous 

 years. Yet, even in these buds there 

 is some late development, early stages 

 being occasionally found in late August 

 but less than was found in buds of 

 other kinds. Because of this relative 

 stability, the development is considered 

 as normal to which all other classes 

 of buds are referred. 



Buds from spurs that have borne 

 blossoms in the spring of the current 

 year, but have failed to set or to carry 

 the fruit for any considerable period 

 of time, show throughout the summer 

 every possible range of variation from 

 the first diflferentiation to stages even 

 slightly in advance of the normal. This 

 may be more or less related to the 

 period at which the fruit has fallen, 

 the most advanced occurring on spurs 

 where the blossoms failed to set fruit 

 and the earliest stages appearing where 

 the fruit hung for a long time. 



There has thus been .shown some 

 difference in the time of fruit-bud for- 

 mation in buds in different positions. 

 This is observable until late in the fall, 

 when all fruit-buds seem to be retarded 

 measurably in their progress, and de- 

 velop equally from then on, until very 

 near the time of blossoming in the 

 spring.
