DEFINITIONS OF TERMS 
As used in these grades: 
1. “Similar varietal characteristics’? means that 
the fruits in any container are similar in color and 
shape. 
2. “ Well colored” as applied to grapefruit, means 
that the fruit is yellow in color with practically no 
trace of green color; as applied to oranges of the 
common and mandarin groups, means that the fruit 
is yellow or orange in color with practically no trace 
of green color. 
3. “ Firm” as applied to grapefruit and oranges, 
means that the fruit is not soft or noticeably wilted 
or fiabby; as applied to oranges of the mandarin 
group (tangerines, Satsumas, King, mandarin), means 
that the fruit is not badly puffy although the skin may 
be slightly loose. 
4. “Well formed” means that the fruit has the 
shape characteristic of the variety. 
5. “Smooth texture” means that the skin is thin 
and smooth for the variety and size of fruit. 
6. “Injury” means any defect or blemish which 
more than slightly affects the appearance, edible or 
shipping quality of the fruit. Any one of the follow- 
ing defects, or any combination thereof, the serious- 
ness of which exceeds the maximum allowed for any 
one defect shall be considered as injury: 
(a) Green spots, when more than four, or when 
aggregating more than three fourths inch in diameter. 
(6) Rough and excessively wide or protruding 
navels, when protruding beyond the general contour 
of the orange; or when flush with the general con- 
tour but with the opening so wide, considering the size 
of the fruit, and the navel growth so folded and 
ridged, that it detracts noticeably from the appearance 
of the orange.
