 bright, should never be classed as Fancy. 



Oranges classed as Choice Bright should be strictly bright 

 and fairly smooth skin, and of desirable size. 



Oranges classed as Bright should be bright, and free from rust. 



Oranges classed as Bright Russet should be at least two-thirds 

 bright, with smooth skin and of desirable size.

 skin and of desirable size.
