It will be seen by reference to the above tabulation that the 
greenings produced from 600 to 2543 apples per tree, and from 
95.12 to 97.50 per cent of worm-free fruit. The two Baldwin trees 
yielded 2204 and 4987 apples, respectively, 96.59 and 96.27 per cent 
being wormless. The very large number of drops on these latter 
trees (a produced 6 barrels of dropped fruit and 4 barrels of picked 
fruit, while b yielded 3 barrels of dropped fruit and 2 of picked 
apples) is explained by the fact that the picking was greatly hind- 
ered by a spell of rainy weather accompanied by more or less wind 
and, as a result, a very large proportion of the apples lay on the 
ground. The five trees as a whole yielded from 95.12 to 97.50 
per cent of sound fruit or an average of 96.20 per cent. This 
is a somewhat lower average than that for the Poughkeepsie 
orchard and is probably explainable in part by the occurrence of 
interplanted trees of other varieties and a slight crowding and 
larger size which prevented to some extent the very thorough work 
obtaining at Poughkeepsie. It will be seen by reference to this 
table that only 54 apples were end wormy, 31 of these being both 
end and side wormy, while 431 were side wormy. The obvious
