262 Report oF THE HorRTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT OF THE 
COMPARATIVE EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF STORAGE AS 
APPLIED TO DIFFERENT VARIETIES. 
The efficiency of the various kinds of storage as applied to 
different varieties differs greatly. For instance, according to 
Hart, the season of both Fallawater and Grimes in cellar storage 
is January; but the season of Fallawater in chemical cold 
storage is May, a lengthening of the season by four months, while 
the season of Grimes in chemical cold storage is February, a 
prolongation of the season of only one month. 
Again, the season of Missouri Pippin and York Imperial in 
cellar storage is given by Newhall as December; but that of 
Missouri Pippin under ice is April, a prolongation of the season 
by four months, while the season of York Imperial is extended 
only one month or until February. 
Nor is there any constant difference for all varieties in their 
season in storage under ice and in chemical cold storage. For 
instance, Graham gives the season of both Baldwin and Hen- 
drick in storage under ice as May 1; but he gives the season of 
Baldwin in chemical cold storage as June 15, or an increase of 
one and one-half months, while the season of Hendrick is stated 
as May 15, or an increase of only one-half month. 
As to the difference in season of varieties in cellar and in 
chemical cold storage, Howes makes this uniformly 60 days, 7. e. 
two months for all varieties. Newhall makes it one month for 
five (early fall) varieties, two months for 19 varieties, three 
months for 23 varieties, four months for eight varieties and five 
months for Northwestern Greening. Graham makes this differ- 
ence variously from 3 month to three months. Hart makes this 
difference two months in a large majority of cases, with extremes 
of one and four months. The seasons of the varieties reported 
on by Newhall, Graham or Hart in the different storages, as 
given by these parties, is shown in Table IT.
