\Yith the exceptions of the three progeny trees Xos. 11-16, 11-28, 
and 12-24, the production of the progeny trees of the Long strain 
limb variation has been fairly good, approximating that of the 
Fig. 9. — Fruits of the Long strain of the Valencia orange. These were produced by prog- 
eny trees No. 12-31. as listed in Table 7. which was propagated from a similar limb 
variation. Riverside, Calif., September, 1921. (About two-thirds natural size) 
comparable progeny tree of the Valencia strain. The total yields 
of progeny trees Xo. 11-16, 11-28, and 12-24 have been low, and 
it is possible that they represent light-yielding strains, although 
sufficient data on this point are not yet available to permit of final 
conclusions on this matter.
