In marking packages the Dominion Government recommends the following 

 system : — 





In the Okanagan the custom is to mark the boxes as below. In this system of 

 marking any complaint can be traced directly to the packer. It is therefore to be 

 recommended strongly.

Lithographing. A neat attractive lithograph placed on the end of the box 

 adds very much to its appearance, and often aids materially in finding a market. 

 A cheap, gaudy label detracts from, rather than adds, to the appearance. 



A lithograph should contain the grower's or association's name, the name of 

 the locality, and the Province. The other end of the box will then have marked 

 on it the variety, grade, and number of the apples, and the packer's number. 



GENERAL HINTS TO PACKEES. ' ^ 



1. Use only clean boxes neatly made. 



2. Use only one size box — the 20 by 11 by 10. 



3. The square and offset packs are defective, and should be avoided whenever 

 possible. 



4. Keep the pack, if anything, above the requirements of the "Fruit Marks 

 Act"
