Four-Three Pact 



When the pears are small enough to 

 make a straight row across the end of 



the box as in Fig. 4, they are placed in 

 a four-three pack. This is a five-layer or 

 five-tier pack. 



To begin this pack place four pears 

 blossom end down in the order shown in 

 Fig. IC. Reverse and proceed as before.
