PEACHES:
Peaches should be picked for packing only
when fully developed, but firm or hard ripe.
Yellow mealed varieties should show some
yellow color. The fruit should be picked and
laid, not dropped, in the baskets or pails, and
should be taken from the vessels only at pack
ing table. All possible car should bemused to
avoid bruises.
Use standard peach boxes; cleats on top
only: use 4d special orange box cement nails
for bottom and aides. Drive nails one inch
from corner, four nails to each piece. Use
three 4d cement box nails for each cleat, one
in the center, and one driven two inches from
the end of the cleat. The cover should hold
the fruit firmly in the box but should not bulge
more than three-eighths of an inch. Use 4
inch boxes only for Elberta peaches, running
60 to 84, both inclusive, avoiding the use of
extra cleats except in extreme cases. Peaches
that are too large to be laid five wide in
the boxes, should be packed two and three in
4J inch boxes. If the peaches are roundish, as
in the case of Craw fords, it will be necessary
to use some 4 inch boxes with this pack.
Peaches that will go five across the box or
smaller, should be packed three and three in
4 inch boxes The excellence of the pack de
pends upon uniform grading. The peaches in
a box should not vary more than 1 of an inch
in diameter. All peaches must be carefully
wrapped in suitable paper.
Peaches that run less than 96 to the box
must not be parked for shipment. Eight-four
count must be the minmum for Elbertas. In
packing, the box should set on an incline with
the lower end of the box to the packer. Both
tiers should be carried forward together. The
peaches should be place in the box stem end
down, those in the top tier resting in the
spaces between those in the lower tier so that
no peach will rest squarely on top of another.
Pack all peaches with the loose end of the
wrapper down. No overripe, under-sized,
immature, bruised, misshapen, diseased,
wormy or otherwise defective fruit should be
packed.
The variety, numerical count and grower's
name to be placed on the label end of box with
rubber stamps. v
PRUNES AND PLUMS:
Pick as large a percentage as possible with
stems on.
Throw out all stemless fruit when skins are
broken or torn. Pickers should be very care
ful in picking not to brush off the bloom.
Gloves should never be use in handling
prunes and plumes.
Prunes and plums should be hard ripe for
picking. Fruit should contain some sugar and
be matured enough so it will continue ripening
and have a good a flavor.
Fruit should be free from all insect pests,
scale, scab, blemishes, and physical injuries.
Prunes and plums and all such fruit should
be packed in 4 basket prune crates, unless or
dered otherwise. Fruit too small to pack 6x6
top should never be packed in prune crates
and should only be shipped in 3J inch peach
boxes.
Whenever possible use a square pack.
Pack all Tragedies and Italians 3 tier deep,
top layer stem end down; bottom layers to be
packed and not jumbled; pack top tier with
creased side up and all the same way. Hun
garian, Bradshaws, Peach Plums and similar
varieties that puck smaller than 5x5 in prune
crates should not be packed.
PEARS:
There shall be three grades of pears, Extra
Fancy, Fancy and C grade.
Every box of pears shall have clearly stamp
ed upon it the number of fruit contained in
the box.
All packed pears to be wrapped.
Extra Fancy:
This grade shall consist of pears that are
hand-picked, clean, sound, and free from in
sect pests, sun scald, scab, scale or other dis
eases, worm holes, stings, limb rub, misshap
en, broken skin or stemless, bruised, or evi
dence of froat by russeting, rough handling
or serious defects, excepting a Bmall amount
russetting, not clearly noticeable or covering
a total area to exceed one-half inch square
may be admitted, no one spot to exceed one
fourth inch area.
No pears smaller in size than 175 to the box
shall be permitted in this grade except Winter
Nellis, which may be packed 200 to the box.
Packed boxes should weigh not less than 51)
pounds gross except Winter Nellis.which shall
weigh at least 47 pounds gross.
In the case of Winter Nellis and Bosc vari
eties, same grading will apply except that the
natural russeting is desirable and required.
Fancy:
This grade shall consist of all fruit which
does not meet with the requirements of the
Extra Fancy grade, as to blemishes, deformi
ties, and sizes, but which in every way is
sound and marketable and shows no disease,
skin punctures, stemless or defect that would
injury the keeping qualities.
Slightly misshapen fruit may be admitted
in this grade.
Pears will be accepted in this grade as small
as 2(H) to the box, except Winter Nellis, which
may be packed 300 to the box.
In the case of Winter Nellis and Bosc vari
eties, same grading will apply except that the
natural russeting is desirable and required.
C Grade:
This grade shall consist of all fruit which
does not meet with the requirements of the
Extra Fancy and Fancy grades as to blemishes
and deformities but which in every way is
sound and marketable and free from disease.
Smaller pears tlian 200 count to the box will
be admitted in this grade.
CHERRIES:
10 pound Boxes:
All marketable varieties must be in perfect
condition, of the right degree of ripeness, free
from all insect pests and blemishes. Stemless
cherries to be kept out.
In packing the 10 pound boxes, care must be
taken by the packer to have the cherries as
near uniform in size a9 possible all the way
through the box.
Boxes should be marked according to the
number of rows across the end; as in 9 row, 10
row, and 11 row.
In making the box, ton should be nailed on
and cleated, bottom left off, box should be
placed before packer, with open bottom up.
Carefully puck the bottom tier, which will
be the top when pack is completed.
In packing the first tier, care should be taken
by the packer to place the rounding side of the
cherry next to the board.
Use only the square pack, never a broken one.
Both ends of box should be packed alike.
Allow no stems to stick out of the corners
which will 1 the top of the box to the packer.
See that the corners are well filled.
After the box is nailed up there should be no
stems showing.
Edges of box where cherries are exposed,
should present a neat appearance.
Nailer should lie very careful when lidding
up, not to cut or mash any of the fruit; all
such cherries, should be removed and replaced
with good fruit.
29 pound or 2S pound Boxes:
Follow same instractions when packing eith
er 20 pound or 25 pound boxes as those given
f0r 10 pound boxes.
Lug Boxes: -
We also recommend the use of a lug-box
with a center partition for cherries to be ship
lied to market, not extending over 200 miles
312 Cascade Ave.
from point of shipment. These cherries are
placed loose in the box, with no faring.
The dimensions of box are as follows:
Sides 18x5 inches.
Ends I4x5'4 inches.
Tops and bottoms 18x7 inches.
The box to contain thirty pounds net weight
of cherries.
Strawberry Crates:
' It is recommended that for all cherries that
are packed in strawberry crates, use the pint
hallock parked 24 to the crate.
Where strawberry crates of 24 hallock car
riers are uged for packing cherries, hallocks
should be well filled, shaken down and topped
or faced so they will be rounding full. There
should be no stems showing. Use square pack
BERRIES:
Of all Northern fruit, berries are the most '
delicate and highly perishable. Don't try to
market them fresh unless you have concluded
to exercise extreme care in every detail in
preparing the fruitjfor market.
For strawberries use deep standard pint cups
24 in a crate. Use only dry crates and cups.
F'or other berries use shallowstandard ;pint '
cups, 24 in a crate where possible. Deep pints
will answer, but there is more danger of loss
from bad condition on arrival, if deep cups are
used.
As the fruit ispackedltoTeat, the appear
ance of the package is important.
Keep your crates clean and bright. When
handling the crates after being filled, set them
down gently; don't drop them, and don't allow
your help to drop them.
After packing deliver berries promptly on
wagons with easy springs.
Get the fruit under refrigeration at the earl
iest possible moment after picking.
Precool the cars as soon as possible after
loading, if a precooling plant is available,
otherwise use from 50 to 100 pounds of stock
salt on the ice in each end of the cars after
loading. Iave the vents." open!;for first hour
or two at night when possible. Don't cool
berries in a refrigerator or cold storage room
and then expose them toa warmtemperature
even for a short time, as the berries will
"Bweat" and mold. When you do cool them
off keep the temperature uniform. It is best
to cool them graduallyjin a cool'natural tem
perature in pure air.
Pick often enough to prevent berries from
getting over-ripe. Daily picking, in favorable
ripening weather, is the only safe rule.
STRAWBERRIES:
Extra Fancy:
This grade shall consist of ALL PERFECT
BERRIES, Clark's Seedling variety, picked
at the proper stage of ripeness for shipping.
All berries must show at least three-fourths
red. In no event should berries be.packed
smaller than three-fourths of an inch in
diameter, and no stemless berries in this grade.
Pack each cup firmly, without bruising the
fruit, so that there will be no settling of the
berries.
Face the top of the box with 16 berries (4x4)
or 20 berries (4x5) or 25 berries (5x5).
Fill the cups so that the top layer will show
three-eighths of an inch above the top of the
cup.
Picking:
Berries must not be picked while there is
moisture on the vines. Berries must be picked
riper in cool weather than in warm weather.
Pickers must not be allowed to hold several
berries in the hand at the same time. Pick all
berries with Btems a quarter of an inch long.
Berries pulled off thestem decay very quickly,
Do not pick green berries; this is a reckless
waste. Do not step nor kneel on the vines
or green berries.
Packing:
Study carefully specifications. Do not al
low filled carriers to stand in the sun or wind;
the wind is more damaging than the sun. The
strawberry is probably our most delicate,
most perishable fruit and must be bundled
with the best of care from the time of pick
ing until it reaches the consumer.
Face each cup with berries us uniform in
Bize as possible; do not till cups with 6x5
and face with 4x4 or larner; see that the face
berries do not inisreprt sent the contents of
the cup. In no event will berries be accepted
if smaller than three-fourths of an inch in dia
meter or in which more than 15 per cent of
the berries under the facing are smaller than
the facing or in any way inferior.
Berries brought in from the field by the
picker must be emptied out by the packer on
a sieve constructed of cloth to' allow the sand
and dust to fall away from them.
Hauling:
Haul only on wagons with goad springs and
keep the fruit covered with canvas to keep
out the dust.
Marking of Crates:
The Btate laws requirie the grower's name
and location where berries are grown on each
and every case of fruit placed on the market.
1" the upper left hand corner place the
grower's name and address, and in the up
per right hand corner mark the words "Extra
Fancy" on all berries of this grade.
RASPBERRIES, LOGANBERRIES,
BLACKBERRIES:
Pick raspberries and loganberries when a
light pink anil firm. Blackberries when dark
red, or black but firm.
Berries that were overlooked on previous
picking which are over-ripe must be put in a
' separate box and must be used for local con
sumption or canning or drying.
Don't re-handle raspberries, loganberries
or blackberries to sort them, as they are too
delicate. The grading must be done by the
pickers.
The berries are sure to settle unless the
cups are properly tilled. See that the berries
are settled at the corners and that the cups
are rounded up about five-eighths of an inch
above the top before putting the cups into
the crate.
Have your crate made five eighths of an
inch higher than the top of the upper layerof
cups. If the top of the crate is too low, put
a cleat under the cover. Don't mash the
berries when putting the cover on. Mashing
the tops of berries starts mold and seriously
injuries the appearance and quality of the
berries when they reach the market
If you do not have enough product to load
cars daily, try and arrange with a neighbor
ing district to join in loading cars.
If on account of bad weather or a shortage
of help, you are unable to pick your berries
at the proper time, make the next picking
clean and turn that picking into the cannery
or dryer. This will give you a clean start for
picking for shipment.
A few over-ripe berries will start mold and
ruin a whole box or an entire crate.
The range of markets extends to Vancou
ver. B. C, Winnipeg, Duluth, Minneapolis,
Chicago, Omaha, and Kansas City, and the
fruit must be packed and loaded so it will
reach these markets in good condition. ;
By complying with these instructions a
standard will be established whereby buyers
ran safely order cars of berries from us at an
f . o. b. price which will otherwise be impossible.
All kinds of picnics or gatherings of people
engaged in harvesting or picking berries dur
ing the harvesting season should be discouraged.
