This series, it will be seen by reference to the above tables, presents 

 markedly different conditions in certain respects from those of 

 series i. There was a considerably larger setting of fruit, the totals 

 for the three plots being remarkably uniform, and in addition there 

 was a very serious infestation by codling moth. This was probably 

 due in part, at least, to local conditions and it is possible that the 

 sprayings were not quite so thorough as those in series i. The 

 entire equipment was different and it is by no means easy to make 

 exact comparisons. An earnest attempt was made to secure the most 

 thorough work possible under the conditions. It is very likely 

 that a portion of the discrepancy in percentages may be due to 

 the difference in varieties in series i and 2. Data upon this point 

 is given in the case of two other varieties in series 3. 



A study of the data given under plot i shows that the minimum 

 tree F produced 884 apples, 80.43 P^^ cent being sound, while the 

 maximum tree B yielded 1656 apples and but 77.96 per cent free 

 from worms. The maximum percentage of sound fruit, namely 

 85.52 per cent, was produced by tree E with its total of 1492 apples, 

 while the minimum percentage of sound fruit, 77.96 per cent, con- 

 trary to the usual rule, was found on tree B mentioned above. The 

 number of wormy fruit under individual trees ranged from 195 

 or 17.78 per cent on tree C to 365 or 22.04 per cent on tree B. In 

 the case of the latter, we would call attention to the fact that prac- 

 tically all the wormy apples were on the ground by October i8th. 

 The maximum number of side wormy or end and side wormy apples,
