2. Judging and Scoring Apples 



Each pupil should bring four or five apples of the 

 same variety to exhibit and use for scoring. The apples 

 should be of standard size, all alike in shape, size, and 

 color. Each apple should be free from insect, or fun- 

 gous blemish, and as nearly perfect in every respect as 

 it is possible to find. If only one plate of apples can be 

 obtained, set it before the class and let each pupil mark 

 the score for the apples, using the following score card :
