An effort was mad. select for this purpose orchards which had suffered severely from attacks of curculio and brown rot in the previo u. In each year one orchard of each variety was chosen, the two orchards being at some distance from each other, so thai a test oi the various treat- ments would be afforded in two different localities. Each orchard was divided into sections, each including a convenient number ot trees. In the central part of each section a certain Dumber of trees (10, except in the case of a few small sections) were reserved as "record" trees, the fruit from which was harvested separately, including the fruit picked and that dropped from the tree during and just before the harvest season. Each record tree was designated by a white cloth band or tape encircling the tree and resting on the outer limbs. Each peach was cut open, examined, and recorded, so that the exact percentages of sou
