236 Appendix. 



A special case, somewhat of this sort arises in judging oranges. 

 Orange growing in California and Florida, respectively, is controlled by 

 two widely different ideals. The committee believes that both of these 

 ideals are legitimate, and that both should be recognized. For this 

 reason two score cards for oranges have been recommended. 



Many explanations regarding the use of these several score cards 

 might be given, and doubtless would assist materially in their use. Such 

 explanations, however, would be burdensome in this preliminary report. 

 The committee hopes to do this in the final report as published by the 

 A. P. S. 



It is understood throughout this work that score cards and scales of 

 points are intended to assist the judge, not to take his place. They may 

 help him in making his opinion, but they are not submittea for his 

 expert knowledge, nor should they interfere with his exercise of it. 

 With or without a score card, a good fruit judge must know soiuei-hing 

 about fruit, and must have a good judgment with regard to its qualities. 



The score cards as recommended follow herewith:

Note. — For scoring pears two different cards are to be used, in all 

 respects like those used in scoring apples. 



Note. — The same cards should be used also for scoring quinces, except 

 that, from the nature of the fruit, the commercial score card would 

 nearly always be the one chosen.
