of the fruit, color and texture of the rind, and its freedom from scars, 

 blemishes, or abnormal markings. By reason of the higher color and 

 smoother texture of the rind of the Thomson fruits there usually is a 

 larger proportion of first-grade fruit produced by this strain than by

 of the several strains of the Washington Navel orange in the investigational performance-record plats

 this table. However, the quality of the Thomson fruits, as shown 

 by the texture of the rag and the flavor of the juice, is inferior to that 

 of the Washington fruits. It should be noted that in this diagram

Fig. 10.— Diagram showing the percentages of Orchard and Standard grade fruit in the marketable crops 

 of the trees of the several important strains of the Washington Navel orange found in the investiga- 

 tional performance-record plats during a 4-year period, 1912 to 1915, inclusive. The strains are listed 

 according to their proportion by weight of Orchard (or first) grade fruit. 



the two strains ranking highest are ones which have characteristics 

 of both the Washington and Thomson strains. The first one, the 

 Washington-Thomson, bears fruits having the appearance of those 

 of the Washington strain, though the characteristics of flesh and
