36 MASS. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 149. 



9. As with size, some trees showed quite constant individuahty in form 

 of fruit, while others were variable. There seems to be no strong evidence 

 that individuality in size and form are to be found in the same tree. 



10. The apples from the upper south parts of the trees, which were 

 largest, were also constantly the most flattened. 



11. There is a pretty constant relationship between the form of the 

 apple and the temperature for a period following bloom; the cooler this 

 period the more elongated the apple. 



12. An effort to dehmit this period more closely indicates that the 

 period from the sixth to the sixteenth days following full bloom fits the 

 observed fluctuation in form more closely than any other.
