Fruits are usually graded into seven sizes as follows: very small, small, medium, below medium, above medium, large, very large.

It is apparent that, owing to the great variation in fruits, no definite line can be drawn between these terms, and they must of necessity be only comparative. Among apples the crabs are usually referred to as being small or very small, the Jonathan or Baldwin as medium, and the Wolf River as large or very large. The other varieties of apples can be gauged according to these already mentioned.
