varies as follows: 



Weight — Lbs. 



One fruit to plant 5.50 



Two fruit to plant 3.62

Four fruit to plant 1.75 



Five fruit to plant 1.50 



These are figures that lead to the general statement that the size 

 of any particular fruit may depend upon the number borne by' 

 the same plant. In the case of the tenth group it is seen that the 

 size of the fruit descends from 4,55 pounds for the average of the 

 single fruits through 2.82 for the pairs and 1.46 for triplets to 

 1.16 for the vine with eight fruits. 



In the case of No. 11 when as a rule the number of fruits was 

 either one or two to each bush, it is found that six plants with 

 single fruits gave 28. T5 poimds — an average of 4.8 pounds and 

 the six with two fruits yielded forty-two pounds^ — an average of
