Septemher, 1921 



All packs to go in the Northwest Standard Box- 



THE apple grading rules and regulations 

 used in connection with the packs illus- 

 trated below are the new ones adopted for 

 1921 by the State Agricultural Department 

 of Washington and are largely the same as 

 those that are used in Oregon, Idaho and 

 Montana with slight variations in the 

 grading. All the packs here described are 

 for the standard apple box measuring 

 lOJ^xll^xlS inches inside measurement. 

 A description of all packs not illustrated can 

 be found under the heading "Apple Packs."

-10/^x11/^x18 inches inside measurement 



All apples packed under these regula- 

 tions shall be arranged in the container ac- 

 cording to approved and recognized meth- 

 ods and all packages shall be tightly filled, 

 but the contents shall not show excessive or 

 unnecessary bruising as a result of the pres- 

 sure exerted in enclosing an over-filled 

 package. Each packed box must show a 

 minimum bulge of one-half inch on both 

 top and bottom. Any apples wrapped shall 

 be well wrapped to prevent "flagging."
