Score Cards 



Tlie following score cards for use in 

 judging exhibition fruits were compiled 

 by R. J. Barnett, Pomologist, WasMngton 

 Experiment Station: 



The relative importance of the different 

 characteristics of fruits is denoted by 

 score cards. It is unfortunate that stan- 

 dard values for the various points have 

 not been developed for fruits as they have 

 for live stock, and that different shows, in 

 the same section even, use different rat- 

 ings. 



For plate displays of one variety a good 



score card is:

 competing against another, this would be 

 modified as follows:

Unless the entries are numerous, the 

 judge wil not use the score card, but will 

 keep the values in his mind and score by 

 inspection, especially in plate exhibits. 

 The exhibitor should, however, make him- 

 self quite familiar with the various points 

 to be considered and the value attached to 

 each of them.
