juice are very similar to those of the Thomson. The second in rank, 

 the Thomson- Washington, hears fruits having the external appear- 

 ance of the Thomson and the flesh and juice characteristics of the 

 Washington strain. In order to interpret this diagram properly, it 

 should be compared with Table XIV, which shows the actual average 

 crops of the individual trees of these strains. 



Figure 10 shows graphically the percentages of fruits of the 

 Orchard and Standard grades in the marketable crops from trees of 

 the various strains found in the investigational performance-record 

 plats for the 4-year period. This diagram emphasizes the pro- 

 duction of fruit of the Orchard grade. The commercial fruit grower

Fig. 11. — Diagram showing the production by commercial sizes and grades of the crops of the 10 highest and 

 10 lowest producing trees, irrespective of strain, in the investigational performance-record plats of the 

 Washington Navel orange. The figures indicate the proportion of each size or grade to the total crop, 

 calculated from the average weights during a 4-year period, 1912 to 1915, inclusive. Figure 12 shows 

 similar comparisons based on the number of fruits produced. 



makes no record of the quantity of cull fruit produced by his trees 

 and hence the percentages given in this figure show the relative quan- 

 tity of the commercial grades borne by the various strains more 

 accurately than those in figure 9. 



Figure 10, like figure 9, is based on the records given in Table XIV 

 and should be interpreted on the basis of those data. 



Figure 11 shows the production by commercial sizes and grades of 

 the 10 highest producing trees in the performance-record plats in 

 comparison with the corresponding yields of the 10 lowest producing 

 trees in these plats. The percentages shown are calculated from the
