ASSORTING.

The inferior figs which were removed from the trays during the drying

process should be assorted into at least two sizes for packing. A yet

lower grade which can not be profitably packed may be sold in sacks. The

largest Smyrna figs weigh, when dried, about 23 grams [355 grains, or

about four-fifths of an ounce avoirdupois], while the average French and

Italian figs weigh each about 8 grams [123.45 grains, or a little more

than one-fourth of an ounce avoirdupois].
