The encyclopedia of practical horticulture; a reference system of commercial horticulture, covering the practical and scientific phases of horticulture, with special reference to fruits and vegetables;. Gardening; Fruit-culture; Vegetable gardening. J L. rii? tM) Time two l*ack 11:1 173 at tlw iii^lit at the left, number The number of apples in the box is determined by counting the apples in the top layer and multiplying by five, the number of layers. 2 When the outer lows and the middle row of a layer reach from head to head of the box, the second and fourth rows each has a space at both ends and each contains one apple less. On the other hand, when the second and fourth rows reach from head to head, the first, third and fifth each has a space at both ends and each contains one apple less. Then the layer constructed after the latter, con- tains one apple less than the layer con- structed after the former manner. Now the first, third and fifth layers of the box each contains the same number of apples, and the second and fourth the same. But the first, third and fifth layers are con- structed after the former manner, and the second and fourth after the latter. Hence the box contains two layers each containing one apple less than the other three; and to determine the number of apples, count those in the top layer, mul- tiply by five, the number of layers and subtract two. The counts of the three-two packs, with the length of rows in each are: 100, 44; 113, 54; 125, 5-5; 138, 6-5; 150, Q-^; 163, 7-6; 175, 7-7; 188, 8-7; 200, 8-8; 213, 9-8; 225, 9-9. The count lOO is sanctioned only for the use of very long apples, such as some Spitzenburgs and Ortlejs, which would pack slack crosswise of the box and not allow of a pioper height if put into the 96 two-two pack. Sizes 200, 213, and 225 can be used successfully only for apples somewhat flat. Long apples for these sizes will likewise be slack cross- wise and come too low. They can be packed three-three.
