658 Report oF THE HoRTICULTURIST OF THE 
The superiority of the sprayed over the unsprayed is evident, 
the first-class fruit being nearly three times greater in I and II 
than in the unsprayed sections, and nearly four times greater in 
III and IV than in the unsprayed sections. The first-class 
unsprayed fruit was smoother and brighter in appearance than 
the sprayed fruit. On a few unsprayed trees a considerable 
amount of fruit was found that graded as selects, but not enough 
of the select sprayed fruit was found to pay for the trouble of 
keeping a separate gradeof it. The average yield per tree was 
from .68 bushel to .72 bushel greater in sprayed sections than 
in unsprayed sections. The injury to the fruit from spraying 
will be discussed on subsequent pages. 
Combining the yields of sections I and III which were sprayed 
three times after blossoming, the yields of sections Il and IV 
which were sprayed twice after blossoming, and the yields of 
sections V and VI which were unsprayed, the per cent. of fruit 
in each grade is determined as is shown in the following table :
