Shipping Massachusetts Apples 

 to Out-of-State Markets 



By A. H. Lindsey and A. A. Brown 



The development of apple orchards in New England and especially in 

 Massachusetts has made it desirable for the grower to find markets outside 

 of the immediate production area. Shipping is the phase of marketing 

 around which this study is developed. The volume of apples grown, 

 preparatory and supplementary marketing practices, distribution among 

 markets, and marketing experience have all been considered primarily 

 from the relationship which they bear to shipping.
