Picking and Packing 181 



The covers to the crate should be fastened on securely, 

 with twopenny nails. This should be done on a solid 

 place, so that there will be little jar. Do not scrawl on the 

 crate with a colored pencil ; use a neat rubber stamp or 

 stencil. The name of the grower, the variety and the 

 grade should be stenciled upon each crate. Take the 

 crates to the depot on spring wagons. Time devoted to 

 making a smooth road bed between packing shed and 

 depot is well spent.
