Better Fruit's Standard 



All packs to go in the Northwest Standard Box- 



THE apple grading rules and regul- 

 ations used in connection with the 

 packs illustrated below are the 

 new ones adopted for 1920 by the State 

 Agricultural Department of Washing- 

 ton 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 measur- 

 ing 10%xliy2xl8 inches inside measure- 

 ment. A description of all packs not 

 illustrated can be found under the head- 

 ing "Apple Packs."

 Apple Packing Chart

It will be noted that we have added 

 to our apple packing chart this year 

 illustrations of the 200 and 225 which 

 are what are known as straight packs 

 and the 125 diagonal pack. The 125 pack 

 is now being much used for long apples 

 like the Spitzenberg, Delicious and Ort- 

 ley. 



The principal changes in the grading 

 rules are in raising the color require- 

 ments of some of the solid red varieties 

 and in placing some of the other va- 

 rieties under a new classification.
