Dryness is of no value, since the molds are already within the fruit, where there is moisture enough. This cause of the de- cay of fruit is, however, of no very great signifi- cance to the ordinary household, because in a great majority of cases the fruits infested with these troubles will show some signs of decay be- fore they reach the mar- ket.
