It is not advisable, in my opinion, for the average fruit-grower to use ice for cold storage purposes for winter apples, etc.,—at le;ist in the latitude of Philadelphia and north- ward. In Chapter XVIII I referred toWihner Atkin- son's cold storage method, and 1 want to say more about it, now. 1 lore is a copy of a. letter from him, dated October .3d, I'-HM), in which he gives particulars about the method : " On Monday we begin to pick our crop of Mayfield apples and expect to have between -1,000 and 5,000 bushels. The orchard has just come into bearing, this being really the first crop. Having a very large barn, much of the space contained therein is available for storing other things than hay, wheat, etc.; so I have converted a mow, 25 x 10 feet, into two storage rooms, one above the other. It is a stone barn with thick walls, sufficient, with a little lining inside of thick paper (on two sides), to keep out frost. I have also doubled the wooden walls on the other two sides, with felt between, and now have what 1 deem to be an admirable place to keep winter apples,—up to the first (137).
