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. Fig. 23. Clamp Nailing Press Completed. PACKING ACCESSORIES Lining Paper This is used in all boxes of the better grades of fall and winter apples, and of the poorest grade where the apples are not wrapped. It is used both for the sake of an impression upon the consumer and the effect upon the apples. Its pres- ence indicates care in the preparation of the product.

The size of the sheets for the Northwest standard box is 17^x26 inches; the size for the special box, 19i/^x26 inches; that for the Colorado box, 181/^x28 inches. Two sheets are used for each box, the ends of the box to remain bare. This "will allow for a generous overlapping on both top and bottom, and also allow for a pleat to be made on the bottom corners.

These pleats will fit in the corners ; * Instead of making these pleats many prefer to push the paper a little way through the cracks in the bottom corners of the box to serve the same purpose. Cardboard This is of light weight, soft, and of an absorbent nature, usually blue or green in color, though the uncolored makes a bet- ter looking box. Its size is about one- half inch smaller than the dimensions of the box. It is usually placed only in the bottom and top
