COMBINATION VEGETABLE AND 



FRUIT CELLAR 

 Editor, HoRiRrLiiui;. 



Dear Sir: The writer has to build 

 a combination vegetable and fruit cel- 

 lar. Could you advise him where he 

 could find out just how to go about it? 

 Would like to know what is consid- 

 ered the proper location and aspect. 

 Also how about ventilation, and all 

 and every kind of information per- 

 taining to a building of this kind. 



Michigan W. B. 



A combination vegetable and frui' 

 cellar should not be installed in the 

 same room. There should be a very 

 thoroughly insulated partition 'le- 

 tween the two cellars. It is always 

 advisable to build a root cellar sep- 

 arately below the ground, and a fruit 

 house above ground.

The plan followed by Vermont peo- 

 ;ile who use no ice, for a fruit house, 

 is to build an insulated house .vlth 

 heavy refrigerator doors. Fruit pui in 

 there in the tall is exposed to ihe 

 Light air by leaving doors an^l win 

 dows open during the night. The 

 doors are closed in the early morning 

 and the temperature is kept equal. 



The root cellar, built partially below 

 gro'ind. may be constructed of al- 

 mobt any material from cement 10 

 sods, but should be protected thoi- 

 oughly against freezing, either Ijy cov- 

 ering with loam or leaves, and a ven- 

 tilator should be put in. coming not 

 more than two feet from the ground 

 and extending well up through ihe 

 roof. 



In Bailey's Cyclopedia of American 

 Horticulture will be found a good de- 

 scription of a root cellar, and Waugh's 

 "Fruit Harvesting, Storing, Market- 

 ing" gives details for a fruit house.
