MONTEVIDEO TRIAL STATION IN 1916. 



151 



In 1905 we received from Prof. Green twelve apple trees 

 budded on Pyrus baccata (Malus baccata). No. 1, Hibernal died 

 in 1905. No. 2, Patten's Greening, is a healthy tree, 19 feet 

 high, with a spread of 12 feet, but the leaves have been somewhat 

 affected by the cluster-cup fungus. Two juniper trees are dis- 

 tant about thirty feet to the east and two others about sixty feet 

 to the west. No. 3, Oldenburg, died in 1905. No. 4, Wealthy, is 

 20 feet high and has a spread of 12 feet. It shows sunscald about 

 18 inches long on the south side, and suffers greatly from shot- 

 hole fungus. Two junipers stand about sixty feet to the north- 

 west, and two more about the same distance east. The junipers

were full of the characteristic "apples" last winter, but do not 

 show any this winter. No. 5, Oldenburg, died in 1905. No. 6, 

 Charlamoff, died in 1907. No. 7, Patten's Greening, is a very 

 healthy tree, with a height of eighteen feet and a spread of 18 

 feet. It produced about three bushels of apples last summer. 

 No. 8, Patten's Greening, is a healthy tree, about as tall as the 

 other, but with not quite so wide a spread. It produced about 

 two bushels of apples last summer. No. 9, Wealthy, became loose 

 about the roots some years ago and had to be staked up. It has 

 since been damaged by rabbits above the wood-veneer protection. 

 It is about twelve feet high and has a spread of four feet. The 

 fruit on the tree did not mature. No. 10, Hibernal, is healthy, 

 with a height of fifteen feet and a spread of sixteen feet. It 

 produced about three bushels of apples. There is a small sun- 

 scald near the ground on the southwest side. No. 11, Hibernal, 

 died in 1905. No. 12, Oldenburg, is about twenty feet high, and 

 has a spread of 12 feet. It produced about a bushel of fine apples, 

 but it has blighted this year all around near the ground and will
