BULLETIN 864, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
The sloping bins are without partitions, so that the packers are free 
to station themselves at any place where fruit of the desired size is to 
be found. The range of size at any point furnishes the packer with 
the slight variation that customarily appears between the fruit in the 
top and in the bottom of the baskets in packing the 6-basket^ 
carrier. 
Fig. 6. 
If the grower wishes to pack bushels or hampers, and does not wish 
to arrange each individual specimen in the container, he can alter 
the bins slightly and run the peaches into the shipping package in the 
usual jumble pack.
