with his statement, as illustrated by Prof. Locke, in his ' Mo- 

 nograph upon the Preservation of Organic Substances.' 

 By his plans, the temperature and moisture of the fruit- 

 roo'm, and consequently the ri2:)ening of the fruit, may be 

 perfectly controlled. One gentleman informs me that he 

 kept strawberries in a fruit room constructed on this plan, 

 from June 1st to the 20th, in perfect condition for the 

 table ; and he entertains no doubt of its complete success 

 in the preservation of apples and pears indefinitely. My 

 own experience corresponds with this statement."' 



We do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Schooley's patent 

 to the attention of all fruit-growers, as an invention of 

 great importance ; and properly constructed (according to 

 the plates i^ublished in the first part of this work, and 

 taken from the Annual Report of the American Pomolo^ 

 gical Society), can not fail to be successful.
