Synopsis
Excerpt from Spraying for the Codling Moth
The length Of time which elapses from the falling of the petals until the calyxes are fully closed varies for different varieties, and doubtless for the same variety in different seasons. It also varies for different clusters upon the same tree. In 1902, twenty clusters each of Whitney, Duchess, and Fameuse were marked with tags, and a record kept regarding the date of opening of each blossom, the falling Of the petals and the closing Of the calyxes. From this record, the number of days from the falling of the petals of the latest flower in each cluster to the complete closing of the first calyx in the cluster was determined. The shortest time was eight days and the longest seventeen days. The number of clusters for each number of days is indicated in the following table. Since not all the clusters set fruit, the total number is in each case less than twenty.
