The handbook begins with a general discussion of factors in- 

 volved in cold storage, then lists the individual needs of numer- 

 ous fresh fruits and vegetables, and concludes with a more general 

 description of the needs of f 1 ori cul tural and ornamental crops (due 

 to the general lack of specific information for these crops). Orig^ 

 inally published in 1954, this handbook quickly became a standard 

 reference for post-harvest requirements of horticultural crops. 

 The revised copy now up-dates the original information as well as 

 adds a number of commodities to the described lists. 



Everyone involved with the handling of fresh horticultural 

 products will find this handbook useful, and indeed the informa- 

 tion in it can often be critical. U.S.D.A. Handbook No. 66 is 

 available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government 

 Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20420. It is "For Sale Only," 

 the cost being $1.00. We strongly recommend that you send for a 

 copy.
