 ter two and three-quarter inches, includes Baldwin, Ben

 Belief lower, and you will notice that the minimum size of 

 Baldwins is two and three-quarter inches in the fancy grade. 

 In the other grades you can put them down as low as you 

 want to, provided you mark the barrel with the minimum 

 s;ize. The two and one-quarter inch Baldwin can go into 

 the "A" Grade, provided it has freedom from imperfections 

 p.nd the necessary color. 



The third group, diameter three inches, includes Fall 

 Pippin, Gravenstein, King, Northern Spy, Rhode Island 

 Greening, Rolfe, Rome Beautj'; and the fourth group, diam- 

 eter three and one-quarter inches, included Twenty Ounce, 

 and Wolf River. 



I have here some Baldwins which are rather oversized, 

 but give a fair idea of what the color should be in a fancy 

 apple. As we have got it in our regulations now, color shall 

 cover more than one-half the surface normally colored and 

 siiall be more than one-half the usual depth. For instance, 

 v\'hile an apple might be said to be colored it may be way 

 below the depth of color, having a dirty kind of greei>ish 

 red instead of a real bright red. What we want in a Fancy 

 j'Vpple is something really fancy, not only in color but depth, 

 of color. 



In the Grade A we have got a great deal more latitude ; 

 color shall cover at least one-third the surface normally 

 colored and shall be, at least, one-third the depth, with the 

 other provision, and in Grade A apples you can put in two 

 and one-quarter inch apples up to three and one-half or even 

 larger. However I would advise everybody packing under 

 this law to grade their apples as near to a size as possible. 



It is perfectly possible under this law to pack the small 

 pnd large apples in the same barrel, provided you put on the 

 Itarrel the minimum size, of the smallest apples. All your
