(5) Sunburn, when the normal color of the orange 
is appreciably changed, or the shape of the fruit affect- 
ed, or the area affected exceeds 10 percent of the 
fruit surface. 
“Fairly smooth”? means that the skin does not feel 
noticeably rough or coarse. The size of the fruit 
should be considered in judging texture as large sized 
fruit is not usually aS smooth as the small sized. It 
is common for the fruit to show larger and coarser 
“ pebbling ” on the stem end portion than on the blos- 
som end. ‘The presence of slight furrows or grooves 
on the stem end portion of the fruit is a common 
condition in certain varieties and the fruit should not 
be considered as slightly rough unless the furrows or 
grooves are of sufficient depth, length, and number as 
to materially affect the appearance and smoothness of 
the orange. 
“Damage” means any injury by the causes men- 
tioned which materially affects the appearance, or the 
edible or shipping quality of the fruit. Any one of 
the following defects, or any combination thereof the 
seriousness of which exceeds the maximum allowed 
for any one defect, shall be considered as damage: 
(1) Dryness, when extending into segments more 
than one fourth inch at the stem end, or more than 
the equivalent of this amount by volume, when occur- 
ring in other portions of the fruit. 
(2) More than an oceasional slight, light-colored, 
well-healed, and threadlike scar caused by thorn or 
deadwood scratches. Any black, or more than an 
occasional superficial and well-healed thorn or dead- 
wood prick. Scars which are dark in color or which 
are rough. Scars with no depth and affecting more 
than 10 percent in the aggregate of the fruit surface. 
Scars which have only slight depth when not fairly 
smooth to smooth and when more than 1 inch in 
diameter in the aggregate. Deep scars when aggre- 
gating more than one half inch in diameter. Thrip 
scarring occurring as a complete or part circle around 
the “button” and averaging more than 134 inches 
in diameter; or a solid thrip scar on any portion of 
the fruit surface when more than 114 inches in 
diameter in the aggregate. 
(3) Any unhealed split or more than three well- 
healed splits at the navel, or any split which is more 
than one fourth inch in length. Navels which flare, 
bulge, or protrude beyond the general contour of the
