ciation, Mr. Scott illustrated by describ- 

 ing the citrus aelection work. In 1909 

 the Department of Agriculture began an 

 investigation of bud variations in dif- 

 ferent citrus varieties in California. In 

 the case of the Washington navel orange 

 it was found that there were thirteen 

 distinct strains in- one variety in the 

 groves of the state. These strains were 

 characterized by different fruit, differ- 

 ent foliage and different habits of 

 growth. Similar differences were found 

 in other citrus varieties, and in each 

 variety only one or two strains were 

 found to be worthy of propagation. 

 Other strains had their origin because 

 of careless methods of propagation and 

 unintentional selection of bud wood 

 from the worthless or drone trees. 



As soon as the citrus growers real- 

 ized the importance of this discovery 

 they began securing individual tree per- 

 formance records, which means the re- 

 cording of the actual amount and the 

 quality of the fruit grown by each tree 

 in an orchard. At the present time in- 

 dividual tree-performance records are 

 being obtained in approximately 50,000 

 acres of citrus groves in California. 



In 1916, as a result of this work, con- 

 ducted in cooperation with the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, the California 

 Fruit Growers' Exchange organized a 

 department known as a bud supply de- 

 partment. This department furnishes 

 buds from performance-record trees to 

 any nurseryman or fruit grower who de- 

 sires to buy, the idea being that every 

 citrus tree grown in the state will 

 eventually be a high-producing tree and 

 bear only the best type of fruit. 



An investigation of the groves of 

 Alabama and Florida by the Department 

 of Agriculture has shown that similar 

 variations exist in the citrus varieties 

 grown in those states; also, an investi- 

 gation of the apples and peaches of Con- 

 necticut and Michigan has revealed dis- 

 tinct variations within the standard de- 

 ciduous varieties grown in those sec- 

 tions. 



In California, in addition to the in- 

 vestigation in citrus fruits, work has 

 been done in the olive and avocado 

 groves and clearly defined bud varia- 

 tions have been found in the different 

 standard varieties of these fruits. 



The Deciduous Situation. 



It has long been recognized by fruit 

 erawers and nurserymen that the varia- 

 tions in.; the different varieties of de« 

 eiditous fruits in the state of California 

 are as extensive as the varieties in the 

 citrus fruits.
