Classification of the fruit by its caliber


Explanation:
Actually, more context would be helpful. The caliber of a fruit could refer to its "quality" in size, its "quality" in taste or variety, or the measurement guage (size) represented by the instrument used to measure diameter or circumference of an object called a "caliper." It could also refer to the length or width of a given fruit. As I said, more context would help to narrow the possible choices.

Good Luck and let me know if you have more context available.

grading of fruit by size


Explanation:
cf: "Fruit is picked three times a week beginning the last week in March or the first week in April. Sit down trolleys are used on the heating pipes and so there is no heavy carrying. At the end of the row the boxes are piled up ready to be taken to the packhouse for grading. Grading is a reasonably quick operation. The fruit is graded into six sizes, and all are first class fruit. Apart from a few private customers all the fruit is sold to a wholesaler in nearby Maidstone. There is a demand for 'Monastery Tomatoes' for we are well known for our strong flavour and good quality fruit."
