averaging three-fourths inch in diameter and six feet in 
height. November 10th, 1905, we dug 18 of these trees. A 
condensed report of that date reads as follows: “There 
seems to be but very little difference in the growth of the 
trees which had Root Gall upon them and those which had 
not. All the trees had a vigorous and healthy appearance. 
There was but little difference in the growth of any of the 
trees, which was from eight to twelve inches. The depth of 
planting and special treatment did not seem to affect them 
materially the first season. The Root Gall on most of the 
trees was one and one-half of two and one-half inches in 
diameter when the trees were dug.” Photographs were 
taken of these trees before planting and of different speci¬ 
mens at the close of the season, showing the growth of the 
trees as well as the appearance of the Root Gall. 
SECOND YEAR’S REPORT 
In the fall of 1906, we dug 14 trees—Okabena, Patten’s 
Greening, Lyman’s Prolific and Wealthy. All these trees 
had root gall upon them when planted. We have reports on 
each individual tree, but as these will proA^e uninteresting in 
detail we will onl} present a summary. The Okabenas 
averaged a growth of twelve inches, trees thrifty and vigor¬ 
ous in every respect. The Patten’s Greenings averaged a 
growth of twelve inches, trees thrifty and vigorous. The 
Lyman’s Prolific averaged a growth of ten inches, trees 
thrifty and vigorous. The Wealthy averaged a growth of 
twelve inches, trees thrifty and vigorous. 
THIRD YEAR’S REPORT 
Report upon Root Gall trees Nov. 19th, 1907. There 
were dug three Patten’s Greening, three Hibernal, five 
Wealthy, three Okabena, two Hiller crab and one Lyman’s 
Prolific crab. The Okabena trees averaged a growth of 
twenty-one inches. The growth of the Hibernal trees 
averaged thirty inches. The growth of the Wealthy trees 
averaged twenty-four inches. In Patten’s Greening, the 
average growth was fourteen inches. The Hiller crab 
twelve inches. In three of the Wealthy trees the Root Gall 
had practically disappeared. Of the three Patten’s Green¬ 
ing only one showed signs of Root Gall, one showed signs of 
Black Heart. Of the two Hiller crabs, in one, the Root Gall 
had practically disappeared, one showed trace of Root Gall. 
Average height of all the trees, ten feet. Four of the trees 
when planted did not have Root Gall, and showed no signs of 
any when dug. These trees presented practically the same 
appearance as those which had Root Gall when planted. 
The one Lyman’s Prolific crab dug at this time which had no 
Root Gall upon it when planted, showed no evidence of con¬ 
tagion ; tree healthy. The report further states that in the 
Okabenas, two showed trace of Root Gall at point of graft; 
one showed signs of Root Gall at the tip of the roots; trees 
healthy. In the Hibernal, the Root Gall had practically 
disappeared.
