BIGGLE BERRY BOOK to see that the boxes are full and not overfull, and possibly throw out a few defective berries overlooked by careless pickers. When packed and covered the crates should be ricked up end to end, preferably under an open shed, and allowed thoroughly to air out before shipping. If possible, it is a good plan to let them air over night and ship in the morning ; unless well aired out the ruit molds in transit. Shippers should also insist on the car being well ventilated ; icing only seems to aggravate molding. In North Carolina, says F. C. Reimer, dew- berries are packed and shipped in thirty-two-quart crates. many other locahties they are packed in regulation strawberry pack- ages, — sixteen or twenty- four-quart crates. Currants and Goose- berries. —Currants should be picked when fully ma- tured and colored, but not when overripe. Of course they are picked with stems on, in clusters, just as they grow. Gooseberries are usually picked and marketed while in a green, hard condition, when of mature size. Pro- fessional pickers use leather gloves and strip off the gooseberries (instead of picking them one by one),. IF HE D PUT ON GLOVES AND STRIP THE GOOSEBERRIES OFF, THE BOX WOULD FILL FASTER.
