Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. 1730 STORAGE April 20, showed losses as follows: Open shelves, grains; in sealed cans, .002 grams; or a difference of grams in favor of the sealed cans. This at least suggests the possibility of cheeking loss in weight by the use of non-porous storage receptacles. Barrels do not have any marked effect in cheeking this loss, as fruits stored in headed and open barrels differed only one-half pound in amount of loss during a period of 147 days, the total loss being iK pounds on a barrel of 139*2 pounds weight when placed in storage. The efficiency of a cold storage house depends more upon the construction of the walls than any other single feature. Perfect insulation is the ideal mark at which to aim. The more perfect the house in this respect, the less wear upon the machinery when refrigerating appa- ratus is used, and the greater the economy in ice when ice is used. To accomplish this, non-conductors of heat December 1, 1S98 400,000 800,000 December 1, 1809 634,500 1,518,750 December 1, 1900 792,000 1,225,000 The following table, which gives the range of prices paid for apples from the end of the picking season to the end of the storage season for the years 1896 to 1900, inclusive, is compiled from the weekly market reports on the Baldwin apple for New York city as published in the American Agriculturist: 2408.

For this purpose brick is superior to stone, and wood is a better non-conductor than either. For permanence, however,
