This is more noticeable in some varieties than in others. "6. One shoot seems to be very largely independent of other shoots about it so far as fruit-bud formation is concerned. It is apparently largely dependent upon its own leaves for nourishment. "7. Removing leaves from individual spurs tends to prevent the formation of fruit buds upon those spurs, although it does not entirely check the develop- ment of flower parts. "8. On those spurs which form fruit buds, notwithstanding defoliation, the blossoms are, on the average, consider- ably later in opening in the spring. "9. Axillary buds of the Wagener seem to be almost entirely dependent upon the immediate subtending leaf for the carbohydrate supply with which they are nourished. Removing the sub- tending leaf entirely prevents fruit-bud formation. Buds so treated either re- mained entirely dormant during the following growing season or pushed out into very weak growth. Very few of them showed a development approach- ing normal. "10. Microscopic examination of buds, both defoliated and undefoliated, taken at intervals during the summer, show little influence of the defoliation so far as development is concerned. No buds were studied that were taken later than Setpember
