These analyses are the results of but one season's work, and hence 

 do not warrant extended discussion or comparisons with the analyses of 

 fruits from other sections of this country or from foreign countries. 

 It is distinctly noticeable that the crabs show a better analysis as cider 

 fruits than the apples. In this latter list, however, there are no dis- 

 tinctly cider varieties. While there are a large number of these special 

 sorts iu our plantations, none have yet fruited. A number of analyses 

 of fruits from the station orchard were made at the Bureau of 

 Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, and these are 

 here in.serted, forming Table X. The averages of specitic gravity 

 readings at the two places are remarkably close. l)ut in other points 

 there are diU'erences to be accounted for, partially at least, by the 

 fact that the varieties examined in the two laboratories were only in 

 part the same.
