It is to be clearly understood that this " average order of flower- 

 ing ' ' represents only approximately what is likely to happen in any 

 particular year, but it is believed that it is sufficiently accurate to serve 

 as a guide as to what varieties are most likely to be in flower at the 

 same time. One might take any of a dozen above or below any parti- 

 cular variety for planting w^ith it to furnish pollen, with the certainty 

 that any one of those varieties would sufficiently approximate its full- 

 flowering period to the one chosen. 



Comparison of Order of Flowering of Apples at Wisley with 



THAT IN other LOCALITIES. 



It is very desirable to ascertain whether an observed order of 

 flowering in one locality is approximately accurate for another. With 

 this object in view a comparative Table has been drawn up, the 

 authorities consulted being as follows, the title used at the head of the 

 columns in the Table being placed first: — 



1. Wisley, Surrey. Eecords of flowering in the fruit plantation for 

 years 1908-1911. 



2. Sawhridge worth, Herts. A MS. list kindly furnished by Mr. 

 H. SoMERS EivERS, covenhg the two years 1909, 1910. 



3. Wohurn, Bedfordshire. Data taken from *' The Blossoming of 

 Apple Trees," by The Duke of Bedford, K.G., F.E.S., and S. U. 

 Pickering, M.A., F.E.S., in Twelfth Report of the Wohurn Experi- 

 mental Fruit Farm (1910) pp. 35-51, covering the five years 1905 to 

 1909.
