Section 1-S is what may be called an ordinary No. 1, but it must now be classed as extra fancy, because it is capped white, firmly attached and completely sealed. .•\ critical buyer would readily accept the first-named section for extra fancy, although the rules say it is only fancy, but he would not accept Section 13 as extra fancy. Fancy.—Permits six uncapped cells on either side, exclusive of the outside row. It is not stated where these six uncapped cells may be, and whether they may be empty or filled. Section 1 has just six uncapped cells, almost in the middle of the comb on one side. It seems that such a section should not be termed fancy. It is nothing but a No. 2. No. 1.—Forty uncapped cells, exclu- sive of the outside row, are permitted here. It is presumed that these 4() cells may be anywhere on the face of a sec- tion, and may be filled or empty. If so, some honey that should not be classed otherwise than cull, is permitted in this grade. On the other hand, the re- quirements for color of comb and cap- pings are quite strict. St.\nii.\rd.—In this grade we have as many as 60 uncapped cells, exclusive of the outside row. What has been said about uncapped cells in previous grades applies to this with still greater force. Section 11 shows 48 uncapped cells. It is but a poor cull. In con- trast with this we have in the same grade sections 5, 6, 12, 15, 16, 17. Sec- tion 16 is fine and white, but goes into the lowest class because not firmly attached to sides. All the others are very nice, heavy weight sections, but the cappings are more than slightly off color, yet they should not be thrown into the same grade as Section 11.
