The data obtained from the study of the fruits jDicked from each tree at each picking were recorded in special field-note forms, as shown in Table IV. In addition to these data, other notes concerning the individual-tree behavior were made from time to time. As soon as possible after each picking the individual-tree data were transferred to forms providing for a maximum of twelve pickings, or monthly pickings for one year, as shown in Table V. When the complete record for an entire year had been obtained, the data showmg the total production for the year, together with accompanying observa- tions, were transferred to a form providing for the brmging together of the data on the individual trees for a period of several years, as shown in Table VIII. Photographs of interesting trees, fruits, flowers, and foliage were frequently taken, in order to fix definitely in the records important phases of tree behavior and fruit charac- Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
