cents per barrel; at another house, 7 cents per bunch, in crates; this seems to be good proof of the 

 advisability of fancy packing. Tomatoes loose in crates (even though carefully sorted) brought 50 

 cents per crate; in baskets in crates, as high as $1.75. 



Watermelons and eggplants should be packed with a little straw that they may carry unblemished. 

 Lettuce wrapped in paraffin paper and a piece of paper laid over the head of cauliflower will raise them 

 at once to the ranks of aristocratic vegetables. 



For the convenience of those who are uninitiated, 2}4 bushels make a barrel; spring radishes should 

 have 12 in a bunch, while the summer varieties require only (i. Beets and turnips should have fi, 8, or 10, 

 according to size; understand this is merely the custom of one locality, and package customs, like others, 

 have their good and bad points. Individuality, on a basis of common sense, will prove as good with 

 vegetables as it has with fruits and flowers, while new varieties and hybrids are being as eagerly sought 

 for by stewards as by landscape gardeners.
