CHAPTER X 
SCORING AND JUDGING 
Tus is part of the strawberry industry 
that has been somewhat neglected. Many 
judges base their choices for prizes more on 
the package, packing, and general appear- 
ance of the fruit than upon any specific 
characteristic. 
There should be some very careful meas- 
urements made of strawberries of different 
varieties until a standard for each variety 
is worked out. These measurements should 
embrace the following: 
1. Measurement from tip of berry to 
highest point of both shoulders. 
2. Measurement from shoulder to shoulder. 
3. Measurement of the circumference of 
the shoulder. 
With these measurements it would then 
be possible to judge correctly the size of each 
variety and the uniformity of this size.
