It will be noted here that the bloom was excellent in 1910, 

 much better, indeed, than in 1911. The flower buds of the 

 former year had of course been formed before the Station 

 acquired the orchards. It is not given for comparison with the 

 bloom of 191 1 ; the noteworthy comparison is that between the 

 above table and those following, showing the percent of fruit 

 actually set, and the yields of the plots.
