The Missouri State Horticultural Society's collections consisted of 

 about 500 plates of fruit — of apples, pears and quinces — that had been 

 at the exposition held at St. Louis last September, which had been kept 

 in the Automatic Cold Storage Co. of St. Louis. 



The fruit was in a remarkably fine state of preservation, and proves, 

 without question, that perishable fruits can be kept a long time when 

 placed in cold storage.
