126 ORCHARD RECORD. 



number in the side column of the page which indi- 

 cates the rows. 



On the upper side of the table we simply have a 

 row of consecutive figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. so as 

 to be able to find at once the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th or 5th 

 tree in any row. For instance, if 4 be the represent- 

 ative figure of the Seckel, then finding a 4 in the 

 square vertically numbered 7 and horizontally desig- 

 nated by 8, we can at any time tell by consulting the 

 table that the 7th tree in the 8th row of our orchard 

 is a 4 (or Seckel). If this Seckel should prove a 

 failure and we decide to substitute a Bartlett (or 1), 

 then, by crossing off the 4 in our table and putting 

 in 1 in the same square, we ever afterwards may see 

 at a glance that the 7th tree in the 8th row is a Bart- 

 lett instead of a Seckel, which has been removed. 



The same system of recording a change of sorts 

 holds good in the case of grafting, budding, etc., etc.
