I have sent shipments to the Old Country that had only two slack barrels in a carâ€" load. I thinlk boxes are better than bar- rels for shipping. I have shipped in cheese boxes, and had the f1u1t arâ€" rive in perfect condition. They brought as high as 28 shilings. The consumer over there likes to buy a small lquanitity of nice fruit like that. 1 think a box holding half a barrel would be the best receptacle. It should be marked with the quali- ty and number of the apples in it. In fact I believe that the time is coming when each apple will be wrapped in tissue paper bearing the shippers name just as oranges come to us. Appearances are worth mo- ney. In one shipment I lined the barrels with newspapers and the buyâ€" ers in England wrote to me about the nice tidy appearance of my fruit.
