PEACH LEAF CURL: ITS NATURE AND TREATMENT. 



real!}' but two qualities of fruit — a first quality for cauning, and a 

 second quality for drying. After the fruit of a row was graded a 

 careful count of the number of picking boxes of each class of fruit 

 was made, and the numbers recorded. From these figures were deter- 

 mined the proportions of the total yield of the row which belonged to 

 the different classes of fruit. The same process of picking, collecting, 

 weighing, counting, grading, and recording was followed for the 

 second picking as for the first. 



In the following table are shown the net weights of fruit gathered 

 at the first picking from each tree of the entire block of 58 experi- 

 ment rows, with the total weight for each row.
