68 MISC. PUB. 190, U.S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 
“ Fairly compact ’’ means that the bunches are well 
filled but that the berries are not closely spaced as 
in “ compact bunches.” 
“Damage” means any injury which materially af- 
fects the appearance or the edible or shipping quality. 
Mildew which affects the appearance of the berries 
shall be considered as damage, but berries shall not be 
regarded as damaged by mildew which are firmly at- 
tached to the stems and which have only slight traces 
of mildew on the inside of the bunch where it does 
not affect the appearance of the berries. 
“ Serious damage” means that the defects taken 
singly or collectively seriously affect the market 
quality. 
“Stragely”’ means a decidedly open bunch with 
large open spaces and very few berries. Small im- 
mature “shot berries” characteristic of the Worden 
variety should be disregarded unless they are ex- 
cessive in number and detract materially from the 
appearance of the lot.
