apple varieties not provided for in first 

 and second grades. When second and 

 tliird-grade apples arc packed together 

 the packages must be marked "Third

 River, Spokane Beauty, Fall Pippin, 

 Waxen, Tolman Sweet, Sweet Bough, 

 and other varieties not provided for in 

 these grading rules, as grown in sec- 

 tions of early maturity, shall be packed 

 in accordance with the grading rules

 but regardless of color rules. All

 PEACHES 

 Peaches should be picked for packing 

 only when fully developed, but firm or 

 hard ripe. Yellow-meated varieties 

 should show some yellow color. The 

 fruit should be picked and laid, not 

 dropped, in the basket or pails, and 

 should be taken from the vessel only 

 at packing table. All possible care 

 should be used to avoid bruises. 



Use standard peach boxes; cleats on 

 top only; use 4d special orange-box 

 cement nails for bottoms and sides. 

 Drive nails one inch from corner, four 

 nails to each piece. Use three 4d 

 cement box nails for each cleat, one in 

 the center and one driven two inches 

 from the end of the cleat. The cover 

 should hold the fruit firmly in the box 

 but should not bulge more than three- 

 eighths of an inch. Use 4V2-inch boxes 

 only for Elberta peaches running .^0 to 

 84, both inclusive, avoiding the use of 

 extra cleats except in extreme cases. 

 Peaches that are too large to be laid 

 five wide in the box should be packed 

 two and three in 4%-inch boxes. If the 

 peaches are roundish, as in the case of 

 Crawfords, it will be necessary to use 

 some 4-inch boxes with this pack. 



Peaches that will go five across the 

 box or smaller should be packed three 

 and three in 4-inch boxes. The excel- 

 lence of the pack depends upon uni- 

 form grading. The peaches in a box 

 should not vary more than one-eighth 

 of an inch in diameter. All peaches 

 must be carefully wraiiped in suilaltle 

 paper. 



Peaches that run less than Ofi to tlie 

 box must not be packed for shipment. 

 Eighty-four count must be the mini- 

 mum for Ell)crtas. In packing the box 

 should set on an incline with the lower 

 end of the I)ox to the packer. Both 

 tiers shoulil be carried forward to- 

 gether. The i)eaches should be placed 

 in the box stem-end down; those in the
