 If you decide that your requirements for soup or for stewing purposes are 

 such that you do not need canned whole tomatoes or tomatoes in large pieces 

 or tomatoes of high red color, U. S. Grade C, or U. S. Standard, will probably 

 be satisfactory. Your specification for this grade in No. 10 cans would prop- 

 erly read: 



TOMATOES— U. S. Grade C, or U. S. Standard 



No. 10 cans 

 Drained weight need not be indicated in a specification for this com- 

 modity, as drained weight is specified as a factor of each grade in United States 

 Standards for Grades of Canned Tomatoes.
