POMOLOGICAL PARAGRAPH 



Printing on Polyethylene Ba^s - Several years ago it was suggested 

 that printing on polyethylene bags be placed the long way of the bag 

 since most bags are displayed on their sides in stores. Some growers 

 have adopted this suggestion. In the writer's opinion, the variety name 

 sliould be featured on the bag with the amount of printing kept to a 



minimum.
