The performance records of these two progeny trees are shown in 
Table 5 and the record of another tree propagated from a normal 
Valencia orange tree is given for comparison. One of the Persistent- 
Style trees has developed a few small branches which produce normal 
foliage and bear normal Valencia oranges. 
Fig. 7. — A Valencia orange tree of the Persistent-Style strain, which was propagated from 
a similar limb variation. This tree is listed as No. 10—42 in Table 5. Inset : A view 
of one of the fruits (natural size) from this tree. University of California Citrus 
Experiment Station, Riverside, Calif., June, 1924 
The performance record of progeny tree No. 10-41 shows a total 
production of 486 fruits having persistent styles and 140 normal 
Valencia fruits. The progeny tree No. 10-42 has produced a total 
of 546 fruits during the same period, all of which have been found to 
have the persistent styles characteristic of the fruits of this strain. 
The normal progeny tree No. 10-40 has produced a total of 1,009 
fruits during the performance-record period as compared with total
