Definition of Terms 



Form in all cases refers to the normal type of the variety, region of 

 growth considered. 



Size. The most acceptable commercial size for the variety should be 

 the ideal. This should be somewhat above the average size for the variety 

 in regions where it is well grown. Extremely large size should be dis- 

 couraged. 



Color. In red, blushed or striped pomaceous fruits high clear color is 

 desirable. In typically green or uncolored fruits a blush shall not be 

 considered either favorably or otherwise. In drupaceous and vine fruits 

 the highest color is the most acceptable. 



Uniformity. This factor infers that all fruits shall be uniform in form, 

 size and color. 



Quality. When scored shall include texture, juiciness, flavor, aroma and 

 any other characters that may give pleasure to the palate.
