In the Far West this demand has been supplied by the ex- tra fancy or fancy selected packed box.

Another reason for the greater use of the basket itian formerly for shipping fruit is that it is being more scientifically madeâthat it permits of a tight, fancy pack and is growoing in all sections of the country as a prac- tical, as well as a show conotainer.
