EXPLANATION OF PLATES. 
Plate XXIII. 
The different sizes of parent and hybrid fruits shown in this plate were 
photographed July 27, 1914, and the fruits were gathered and weighed two 
days before that date. It was not possible to show all of the different 
sizes and shapes of fruits as all the plants did not mature at the same time. 
One typical fruit was selected from each plant. In addition to the data 
given below the number of seeds of each fruit can be frund in the records. 
The identity of the fruits is as follows:
