EXPERIMENT STATION. 



[Jan. 



Reference to the analyses of these samples will show that they 

 are in entire accordance with the resnlts reported in the above- 

 mentioned pnblication. A stndy of the figures given shows 

 that, as a rnle, varieties grown to the north of their natural 

 range exhibit the characteristics of immatnre fruits. The 

 analysis of the Ben Davis, sample 91, indicates an apple that 

 failed to mature on the tree, and has gone down in storage after 

 the manner of immature fruit. In general, the analysis of 

 this variety shows that the more northern-grown specimens are 

 low in solids and sugars and high in insoluble solids and acid, 

 and the same is generally true of the other varieties.
