The fruit houses complain that the
apples this year are too big. This is
crpecially true Of the Rome Beauties.
The tendprfoot in fruit growing would
naturally think that the bigger the
apple the better; but not SO in the
eyes of the buyers and shippers. They
say only the medium sized apple,
about 200 to box, is accepted for ex-
port, and a large proportion Of the
Rome Beauties and many of the Jona-
thans are too large for the foreign
trade, which is the most profitable mar
ket. Even the Winesaps, usually
small in size, are extraordinarily large
this year. A goodly per cent OF the
Rome Beauties are packing rs to $50
to the box.
