While these experiments were under way, it became evident that the success Of thinning was influenced by other cultural practices, such as the type and severity Of pruning, fertilizer applications, soil cultural practices, and weather. The work was then expanded to include the variables that could be Controlled.

Later, tests were made to determine the advantages Of delaying harvest in order to secure full benefit Of the final swell Of the fruit and the improvement in its quality. TO give the study additional value, tests were made to find out the relative carrying quality Of peaches picked at different degrees of maturity.
