If the bushel basket is used as the commercial package,no regular arrangement of the fruit in the body of the packageis made, but the top is faced as in the case of Delaware 16 shows a faced bushel basket of peaches. When Climax baskets are used as commercial peach packages,a system of packing is adopted that accords with the size of the fruit. If the 00^. peaches are smallthree are placed sideby side across thebasket, as shown inFig. 17 (a), enoughlayers being used tofill the basket. If thefruit is too large tobe arranged in threetiers, two tiers areplaced along one sideto make the firstlayer, as shown in (b); the second double row is placed alongthe opposite side of the basket, as shown in (c); the layers arethus alternated until the basket is full. At the top of theillustration is shown a basket filled with peaches that arearranged in three tiers. Fig. 16 47. The form of pack used in the Georgia carrier variesaccording to the size and shape of the fruit. In the case of smallpeaches a 2-2 pack is best. To make this pack, a peach isplaced in one of the lower comers of the till and another midwayacross the end; this constitutes the first cross-row.
