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 cyclopediaofamer06bail Year: 1906 2411. The piling of barrels of apple i cold storage house. Apples are best preserved at a temperature of 30° F., two below the freezing point. It is generally conceded that they should be taken from the tree as soon as ma- tured and colored, immediately put in a cold room and the above temperature maintained until they are taken out to be placed on the market. They will come out with a minimum amount of decay, crisp, full-flavored, and in condition to 'stand up' much longer than if car- ried at a higher temperature. Bartlett pears put in while green and as soon as the stem will cleave from the twig, at a temperature of 32°-33°, carry for two months to ten weeks. Ventilated barrels are sometimes 2412. Re-sorting apple , storehou used, but slatted bushel crates are preferable. Winter or late varieties of pears will carry much longer. Peaches and other stone fruits will take a temperature of 30° and are not, as a rule, carried successfully to ex- ceed two weeks. They are very deceptive; thd outside will appear satisfactory, but the fruit will be tasteless, and around the pit it will be black and in a semi-de- cayed condition. Berries, one week to ten days at a temperature of 38°, will, if they are not bruised or broken, carry nicely and many times tide over an over- stocked market. Tomatoes, if sound, not broken or bruised, picked be- fore they are thoroughly ripe, will, at a temperature of 40°, carry three to five weeks. Celery, if dry and sound, should, at a temperature of 34°, carry from three to four months. Vegetables, such as carrots
