As a matter of protection to you and for the benefit of the grower permit me to suggest that you require all apples be hauled to the depot from the orchard in spring wagons. The wagon should be covered so as to keep off either the dust or rain. Manj' a grower, through care- lessness or ignorance, hauls apples to market on a dead axle. I know what this means. It means the apples are bruised before they leave the district where the^^ are grown, the condition is affected and the keep shortened. The grower, through his own carelessness and ignorance, damages the crop that he has worked a year to grow, and then blames you when he gets his returns for what is his own fault. A packing house is essential when a grower wants to put up fancy apples. It should be well lighted, of sufficient size and conveniently arranged for car- rying on this important part of the apple industry. In order to put apples up in the most perfect condition it is neces- sary after picking to get them quickly into a cool place, where they will be protected from the sun. Where the grower packs in the orchard the apples absorb heat from the sun. The less heat there is in an apple when it is shipped the better it will carry and the longer it. 0.\E OF THE MANY DOCKS ON WATER FRONT, SEATTLE (PUGET SOUND) EXPORT PLACE FOR FRUITS AND PRODUCE FOR ALASKA POINTS A GREAT will keep, I believe the district pro- vided with ap
