In Tables 4, 5, and 6 the results of the experiments in spraying and dusting conducted on the Hiley peach trees in the season of 1922 are. Fig. 6.—Diagram of orchard of Hiley peaches used for experiments in the season of 1922. Each tree is represented by a circle, the solid black circles representing record trees given in terms of percentages. Table 4 presents the results obtained from the examination of the fruit from the record trees of each plat at harvest time, besides which the last two columns give the per- centages of merchantable and cull fruit harvested from those trees as determined by grading the fruit before it was cut open for examina- tion. In Table 5 are the numbers of fruit that dropped to the ground from the record trees in the different plats from shortly after the pollination season until the fruit was ready to be harvested, and the percentage of curculio-wormy fruit in each. Table 6 gives the com- mercial results of fruit from all trees in each 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.
