only do the environmental conditions 

 represented by climate and soil deter- 

 mine the class to which any variety of 

 apples belongs but they even determine 

 the quantity of pollen produced. Hence 

 it becomes of especial scientific interest 

 to us when we consider that these en- 

 vironmental factors iniluence the char- 

 acteristics and behavior of the germ 

 cell of the plant. By writing to your 

 state experiment station you can usu- 

 ally obtain a list of the apples which 

 pollinize well together and of those 

 that blossom at the same time. Such a 

 list becomes very valuable for refer- 

 ence at the time of planting an orchard. 

 Let us consider the changes in the 

 fertilized flower after the petals have 

 fallen and their relation to orchard 

 spraying. By examining plates Nos.

TheHoodRiverAppleSizer 



Apple buyers and consumers are demanding standardization and uniformity in the 

 grading and sizing of apples. This work is usually done by hand, costing from five to 

 fifteen cents per bo.x. The apple industry demands economy in every phase of the 

 business. Consequently an apple grower in Hood Riyer has invented 



The Hood River Apple Sizer 



It will reduce the labor of grading and sizing from 20 to :iO per 

 cent after crop is in the apple house, making the little machine 



save ?2.50 to Jo.OO per day. 



The Hood River Apple Sizer 

 is simple in construction and 

 operation— with no complicated 

 machinery to get out of 

 order. It is small and 

 compact, occupv'ing a 

 space of 4;jx6 fe'et so it 

 can be used in any pack- 

 ing house, no 

 matter how 

 small. With 

 extra help it 

 has a capaci- 

 t y of 5 

 boxes perday 

 and the cost 

 of gr a d ing 

 and sizing 

 can be done 

 for 3c per 

 box. The 

 price is solow 

 '5. ®6^ - ' - - that every 



grower, no 

 matter how small, cannot afford to be without it. ANY GROWER WITH A 1,000 

 BOX CROP CAN SAVE THE COST OF THE MACHINE IN ONE YEAR.

 changes that are evident in the remain-

 of a shrunken style and stigma, in the 

 open and empty anther sacs which con-

 larger receptacle. Now let lis examine
