CHANGES IN FRUIT ON TREES 



The analyses of fruit from the various pickings at the time it was placed 

 in storage (Tables I and II) show marked differences in composition. 



Fig. I. — Graphs showing changes in percentage of dry matter, acid, and sugars calculated as dextrose in 

 fruit on two Common Florida trees from August to December. 



For convenience in comparison the data for sugars, acids, and dry matter 

 are shown graphically (fig. i). In these curves the percentage is plotted 

 on the ordinates and the time interval between pickings on the abscissae.
