P'iG. 2249. Peaches gathered from the tree sprayed on one side shown in the preceding plate. The 

 fruit shown on the two drying trays on the left, together with that in the lower compartment of the 

 tray on the right, was gathered from the sprayed half of this tree. The peaches phown in the upper 

 right hand compartment were all that matured on the unsprayed half of the same tree. The sprayed 

 half bore 718 peaches, weighing 284.8 pounds. 



Fig. 2250. Showing a limb of the sprayed half of the tree, after the removing of the leaves with 

 pruning shears. A good idea of the size and perfection of this fruit may be obtained from the plate. 

 The color was strikingly high and rich. The size of the fruit is further shown by the fact that the 

 peaches averaged 252 per hundred pounds.
