Score Cards 



The following score cards for use in 

 judgins exhibition fruits were compiled 

 by R. J. Barnett, Pomologist, Washington 

 Experiment Station: 



The relative importance of the different 

 characteristics of fruits is denoted by 

 score cards. It is unfortunate that stan- 

 dard values for the various points have 

 not been developed for fruits as they have 

 for live stock, and that different shows, in 

 the same section even, use different rat- 

 ings. 



For plate displays of one variety a good 



score card is: 



Form 15 



Size 1.5 



Color 20 



Uniformlt.v 25 



Freedom from blemishes 25 



If quality were a factor, one variety 



competing against another, this would he 



modified as follows: 



Form 10 



Size 10 



Color 20 



T'niformity 20 



Freedom from blemisiies 20

Unless the entries are numerous, the 

 judge wil not use the score card, but will 

 keep the values in his mind and score by 

 inspection, especially in plate exhibits. 

 The exhibitor should, however, make him- 

 self quite familiar with the various points 

 to be considered and the value attached to 

 each of them.
