fruit than other trees of the same vari- 

 ety, but few persons have recorded the 

 yields from different trees, and little 

 definite information has been published 

 on the subject. From the records kept

 shown that some trees have yielded from 

 two to four times as much as others. 

 The following table gives the results ob- 



tained. Scions have been taken from 

 these trees and have been both top- 

 grafted and root-grafted to learn if this 

 individuality is perpetuated as it is im- 

 portant to learn if the tendency towards 

 heavy or light bearing is continued when 

 scions are taken from these trees and 

 grafted. w. T. Macoun,
