PICKING, PACKING, AND MARKETING 85 
This is exceedingly inexpensive for ship- 
ping crates and can be used as gifts without 
overburdening the grower with excessive 
expenses for marketing. 
The Leslie crates are also very inexpensive, 
costing but $7 for one hundred of the twenty- 
four-quart in the flat. For the full quart 
boxes the crates have three heads 7} x 143, 
two pieces for covers 73 x 233, two pieces for 
sides 63 x 233, and three pieces for bottoms 
‘4 X 23% inches, weighing about six pounds. 
The wine measure differs somewhat in size, 
owing to their being small boxes, but they 
are made up the same way. 
Refrigerator crates for distant shipping 
are sometimes used; these are heavy crates 
which give an opportunity for cooling or 
chilling the fruit, generally by placing ice 
in the bottom of the crate and closing it 
somewhat tightly. 
3. Picking stands, one for each picker, 
either home-made or purchased, are very 
convenient for the quick picking and carry- 
ing of the fruit in more than one basket. 
They are made to carry either four, six or 
eight quart baskets and are equipped with 
a handle. Legs on them are also useful.
