 skin broken at stem, but slight russeting within 

 the basin of the stem shall be permitted. 



Fancy Grade — Fancy apples are defined as 

 apples complying with the standard of Extra Fancy 

 Grade, except that slight leaf rubs, scratches, or 

 russeting shall be permitted up to a total of ten 

 per cent of the surface, and provided that scab 

 spots not larger than one-quarter inch in diameter 

 in the aggregate shall be permitted in this grade. 

 "C" Grade — "C" Grade is to include all other 

 merchantable apples free from infection except
