BUD SELECTION IN THE VALENCIA ORANGE 
29 
With the exception of progeny tree No. 10-34 their production has 
been about the same as that of the comparable progeny tree No. 
11-51, which was propagated from a normal limb in the parent tree 
in which the limb variation occurred from which progeny tree No. 
11-49 was propagated. 
The production of the trees propagated from limb variations has 
been made up of fruit typical of the parent-limb variations as well 
as those typical of the Valencia strain. Each of these parent-limb 
variations was very small, with only a few fruits, and these data 
indicate that the tendency to the production of the off-type fruits 
has been perpetuated.

OTHER STRIKING VALENCIA BUD VARIATIONS 
In addition to the bud variations and the resultant progeny 
propagations which have been described in the foregoing pages, 
other striking limb variations in Valencia orange trees have been 
found from time to time which are of more than ordinary interest 
from the standpoint of bud variation and bud selection. These 
variations, for the most part, have been discovered in trees growing 
in orchards other than those in which the original individual-tree 
performance-record work with the Valencia variety was carried on, 
and most of them have been found in connection with subsequent 
tree-estimate studies with full-bearing trees in established orchards. 
A few of these variations which have been found to be perpetuated 
through budding, but which on account of their infrequent occur-
