SCALE OF NUMHKRS FOR SIZES OF APPLES. 



r would be a great aid to uniformity in the descriptions of 



new varieties of apples if we could adopt some scale of 



sizes, so that when we spoke of a variety as being small, 



medium, or large, it would have a more definite meaning. 



At the present, the term medium size might convey to 



one person an entirely different meaning from what it 



would to another. 



We notice in the last report of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society, 



an excellent suggestion by the Committee on Nomenclature. Speaking of the 



indefiniteness of the terms small, medium, large, and very large, they recommend 



S.MAl.I..
