A few thoughts on the Boston 

 Apple Market 



Apples intended for immediate sale do 

 not appear to move any better or more 

 rapidly when wrapped. Apples intended 

 for storage will generally keep better if 

 wrapped, as oiled wraps will retard de- 

 velopment of scald. 



Growers whose fruit will not grade 

 high in "A" quality would do better to 

 pack "orchard run" than to attempt to 

 pack by sizes. 



Boston market does not like apples 

 packed "stem up." It prefers "cheek up" 

 and row pack although diagonal pack is 

 in good favor. 



Grocery store and market buyers like 

 barrels because one barrel will weigh out 

 3 1/3 times as much as one Massachu- 

 setts Standard Box. A quality of Bald- 

 win that is now selling for $2 per box can 

 be bought for $.5.00 per barrel. 



As a general thing fruit of good qual- 



ity, not fancy, but also not "middled" 

 with poor stuff' will bring the best net re- 

 turn if marketed in barrels. 



There is not now, nor never was, a 

 bushel basket that equals our "Boston 

 Box" as a market package. 



The time is coming, in fact is practical- 

 ly here, when the fruit stand trade will 

 use Mcintosh to the exclusion of Western 

 varieties. The time is not far distant 

 when the New England Baldwin will re- 

 place Western fruit in the fruit stand 

 trade.
