It will be seen bv reference to the above tabulation that the 

 greenings produced from 600 to 2543 apples per tree, and from 

 95.12 to 97.50 per cent of worm-free fruit. The two Baldwin trees 

 yielded 2204 and 4987 apples, respectively, 96.59 and 96.27 per cent 

 being wormless. The very large number of drops on these latter 

 trees (a produced 6 barrels of dropped fruit and 4 barrels of picked 

 fruit, while h yielded 3 barrels of dropped fruit and 2 of picked 

 apples) is explained by the fact that the picking was greatly hind- 

 ered by a spell of rainy weather accompanied by more or less wind 

 and, as a result, a very large proportion of the apples lay on the 

 ground. The five trees as a whole yielded from 95.12 to 97.50 

 per cent of sound fruit or an average of 96.20 per cent. This 

 is a somewhat - lower average than that for the Poughkeepsie 

 orchard and is probably explainable in part by the occurrence of 

 interplanted trees of other varieties and a slight crowding and 

 larger size which prevented to some extent the very thorough w^ork 

 obtaining at Poughkeepsie. It will be seen by reference to this 

 table that only 54 apples were end wormy, 31 of these being both 

 end and side wormy, while 431 were side wormy. The obvious
