THE ORANGE IN CALIFORNIA THE CROP. 123 



for fruit that is neatly and properly packed than they will for 

 such as is carelessly put up. 



All growers should endeavor to avoid, as far as possible, the 

 shipment of green and imperfect fruit. A few years ago the 

 " windfalls " and " culls " brought paying prices, for the simple 

 reason that there was, comparatively speaking, only a limited 

 quantity of this class of fruit. Remember, however, that of 

 late years the crop has steadily increased, and the supply of 

 strictly good fruit is now becoming amply sufficient to fill ordi- 

 nary demands; hence, the shipment of "drops," "culls," green 

 and inferior fruit simply aids in depressing markets, and inter- 

 feres seriously with the sale of good fruit. The shipment of 

 inferior fruit is neither profitable to the grower nor creditable 

 to the State.
