GRAPCe 



From records of the Nashoba Apple Packing Association. The Prices for Baldwin and 

 Gravensteiu are for three seasons only. 



While the averaije price for Gravenstein 2V-.' inches in size was liiglier tlian 

 for any other size, a range of but 20 cents between the highest and the 

 lowest prices indicates that size is not an important factor with this 

 variety. 



The prices by variety and size for the four seasons show irregularities 

 which can be partly accounted for by export sales. But an examination 

 of the figiires shows that the quality of the fruit must sometimes have 

 been a factor in determining the price. No measure of quality other 

 than that apparent in the grade has been established.
