la assorting the crops only the scab was considered; size and insect injury being 
ignored. Some of the fruits placed in the first quality were badly distorted by 
insect injuries, and were very small in size. In like manner some fruits of compara¬ 
tively large size were of necessity placed in the third quality. 
The numerical data relating to the experiment are chiefly grouped together in the 
accompanying table but as this table is necessarily somewhat complicated the more 
important points brought out are graphically illustrated on succeeding pages.
