Re: seed naming classification system
Tom,
A good place to look would be Duncan McAlpine's tutorial on measuring your
fruit. You can find this page at :
http://www.backyardgardener.com/weight.html
Using this method, you can compare your results with the chart given there
or use the weight estimator on the AGGC. The estimator is easy to use
(simply enter your measurements) and you can also compare your fruit to
other fruits with similar measurements. AGGC link below.
Till next time....
