It is apparent from a study of these data that the yields of the two 
progeny trees of the Dwarf strain variation have been consistently 
light since these trees came into bearing. All of the fruits harvested 
from these two trees have been typical of the strain. Fruit from 
one of these trees is shown in Figure 6 in comparison with normal 
fruit. 
The total yield of the progeny tree propagated from the Coarse 
Australian limb variation has been almost five times that of either 
of the progeny trees of the Dwarf strain. However, many of the 
fruits of the Coarse Australian progeny tree have been coarse and 
undesirable as compared with the fruits from the comparable progeny 
tree of the Valencia strain. The yield of this normal Valencia progeny 
tree has been very much larger than that of the two Dwarf strain 
progeny trees and considerably greater than that of the Coarse Aus- 
tralian strain progeny tree. Furthermore, the fruits from the nor- 
mal Valencia tree have been of much higher grade and of consist- 
ently better commercial quality than those of the other strains. 
PERSISTENT-STYLE STRAIN 
Among the most striking Valencia limb variations discovered thus 
far in these studies is one which has been named Persistent Style on 
account of the fact that the styles remain attached to the fruits 
through growth and maturity, instead of dropping early in the de- 
velopment of the fruits as is usually the case. 
The trees of the Persistent-Style strain are slow growing and have 
a decidedly dwarfed habit of growth but a more open habit than the 
Willow-Leaf or Dwarf strains. The leaves are clustered closely to- 
gether at very short intervals on the branches and are shorter and. 
more obtusely or bluntly pointed than those of normal Valencia 
orange trees. 
The fruits are very small in size as compared with normal Valencia 
fruits. They are of a yellow color, round in shape, and have thin 
rinds of very smooth texture. The styles are rather large in size
