New YorK AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 2838 
fruits went out. Averages for the different years differ greatly. 
The average life in 1896 and ’97 extended only till about the 
middle of March while in ’98 it extended till the latter part of 
May. The indications are that this variety usually may be held 
till March. ; 
Cayuga Red Streak (see Twenty OUNCE). 
CeestiA. In the Station tests 61 apples were stored October 
1, 1896, and 104 apples October 8, 1897. The mean date for 
. average life was February 25 and for the discarding of the last 
fruit was June 3. There was much difference in the keeping qual- 
ity of the fruit in these two years, indicating that its season may 
vary greatly. It may be expected to extend into January; it may 
possibly extend through the winter. 
Chase (see Hypr KIna.) 
CHENANGO (Chenango Strawberry, Sherwood Favorite). In the 
Station tests 105 apples were stored September 2, 1896. The 
average life extended to November 8. This variety ripens uney- 
enly on the tree and therefore two or nfore pickings should be 
' made of fruit intended for storing. The latest ripening fruit may 
be kept till November. After that it deteriorates much in quality 
even when the fruit is apparently sound. 
Christmas Apple (see Lapy). 
CuarRKE. In the Station tests 30 apples were stored October 5,

ruary 2 for average life, and April 11 when the last fruit went 
out. 
In the Department cold storage tests this variety from this 
Station, stored October 21, was mellow and free from scald but 
slightly decayed February 1; commercial limit December 1. Flesh 
grows soft and mealy and discolors at end of commercial life.
