Internal Brov^ning.—In certain varieties of apples, especially the Yellow Newtown, grown in cool, moist localities, there is a tendency for the flesh to develop a soft, brown condition in storage. This is worse on fruit which is left on the trees until late in the season. In storage, more browning develops at 32° Fahrenheit than at higher temperatures. The trouble is nonparasitic.

The conditions which prevent internal browning (early picking, stor- age at moderate temperatures) are exactly those which favor bitter pit, so that the methods of handling the two diseases conflict with one an- other. Fortunately, however, these diseases are not apt to be equally bad on the same variety of apple. With the Yellow Newtown, if the apples are left on the trees until they are mature and then stored at 36° to 37°
