The results reported in Table XV were obtained in experimental 

 storage boxes, the separate lots of apples being held in moist chambers. 

 Only 10 apples were used in each lot, but great care was taken that the 

 different lots should be as nearly alike as possible. The tests were car- 

 ried out under several different conditions with remarkably consistent 

 results. The Grimes of August 21 were quite green and were placed 

 under the given storage conditions the day after picking. The Grimes 

 of October 29 were picked September 4, packed in barrels, and held in 

 commercial cold storage from September 5 to October 28. The Rhode 

 Island Greening apples were held in barrels in cold storage till November 

 5, and the Yellow Newtown apples till December 19. The wrapper ex- 

 periments on the last three lots were started at the time the apples 

 were removed from cold storasre.
