Profitable Cold Storage of 

 Strawberries 



Mr. Wm. Dickie, of Burford, Ont., in pri- 

 vate experiments in the cold storage ot 

 strawberries, has met with success along 

 the lines suggested in Bulletin No. 47 of the 

 Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, 

 on cold storage of tender fruits. In a letter 

 to Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Dominion Cold Stor- 

 age Commissioner, giving the results of his 

 experiment, Mr. Dickie says: 



"You will remember the weather was 

 very hot during the strawberrj season. 

 Berries left on the vines from Friday to 

 Monday would be spoiled. So I picked as 

 usual on each Saturday and took my entire 

 picking to Brantford Cold Storage on 

 Saturday evening, arriving there about 8 

 o'clock. Burford is nine miles from Brant- 

 ford. I put them in a room each time at 

 36 deg. F., and on Monday a.m. shipped 

 out to my customers in Gait and Stratford, 

 where they would arrive about 11 a.m. The 

 first shipment was picked on the firm side 

 and in Al pondition. The others were soft 

 and under ordinarj' conditions would not 

 have carried ftfty miles without the juice 

 running out of them. 



"My customers reported that every ship- 

 ment arrived in splendid condition, in fact 

 they were by all odds the best of any re- 

 ceived during the season. They were firm 

 and fresh and stood up throughout the day. 

 It was also a profitable investment, as my 

 customers received satisfactory stock Mon- 

 day a.m., when no one else had any to offer; 

 consequently, I could ask an advance in 

 price and obtained it easily."
