ORCHARD NOTES. 



45 



Results. 



Notes on the several points presented in the following tables 

 have been made for each tree during the past two seasons. 

 The data is of necessity governed by a personal factor, as must 

 be the case when classifications are made, as they had to be in 

 this work, by general observations. For example, a "showy" 

 bloom in the eyes of one rnan would appear to be only "full" to 

 another. Nevertheless the data are fairly comparable, since 

 results for both seasons are from the notes of one observer. 



Plot A is used as the cultivated plot in these tables as a basis 

 for comparison with B, C and D because of the more uniform 

 size of the trees and the relation of the plots in the orchard 

 (see Fig. 14). The rows in B, C and D are simply the exten- 

 sions of the respective rows in A.

One tree, it will be noted, was removed at the close of 1910. 

 The great percentage of the trees in all plots are medium or 

 large and of commercial bearing age. In plot D the percent of 

 small trees exceeds that of medium ones.
