JUDGING FRUITS 



273 



can Pomological Society in Washington, 

 D. C., in 1 89 1, when the approaching World's 

 Fair at Chicago gave the matter a special im- 

 portance. The views of the California citrus 

 fruit growers were rather fully presented by 

 Mr. J. E. Cutter.* It should be said, how- 

 ever, that the Florida citrus fruit growers, 

 while not having such a definite system of 

 their own for judging oranges and lemons, 

 disagree materially from the schedule of 

 points here presented from Mr. Cutter's 

 report.
