130 MODERN STRAWBERRY GROWING 
These cards can easily be used as guides for 
judges who have not a complete system 
of classifying and scoring the fruit at the fairs 
orshows. The card would be of special value 
if there were a question raised by some 
grower of the fruit judged, the answer, or 
defect in the fruit could be readily ascer- 
tained from the score card. 
A good judge could go through the exhibits 
of each separate variety and pick out the 
few that were closely matched for first place; 
then, by careful scoring, the first, second, and 
so on would be readily shown. 
One of the best score cards is that by 
Professor Card, published in a report of 
the Rhode Island Experiment Station, 1905, 
and is presented herewith:
