Offset Pack. With ordinary sized apples the offset is started by placing three 

 apples firmly together cheek to cheek in the lower end with the first of the three in 

 this row against the left-hand side of the box. The space left then is all on one 

 side of the box. In this space the first apple of the three constituting the second 

 row is placed. When the remaining two are in, the space will be on the left-hand 

 side. The layer is thus completed, the space alternating from side to side of the 

 box. The second layer is started in the right-hand lower corner by throwing the 

 apples into the crevices formed by the apples of the first layer. In the completed 

 box the alternate layers will be directly over one another. 



For this pack, as in the diagonal 2-2, it is necessary to have apples too large 

 to fit four across the box. Similarly the 3-2 diagonal requires apples too large 

 to go five across.
