Cold storage simply retards deca}^, and when the fruit is taken out at a time when conditions are so much more favora- ble for decay, the fruit decomposes faster than in the fall or winter when the temperature is low. Comparing the average time it took for all of the fruit to become spotted under the three temperatures given, as shown in next to the last column in each table, they are about as fol- lows : Warm temperature, 13 days ; medium temperature, 32 days, and cellar temperature, 40 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
