THE DECAY OF APPLES Si 



An examination of this table indicates that the apples kept 

 as well after being withdrawn from the lower temperature as 

 those which had not been subjected to it. 



A comparison of tables 2, 4, and 5 shows that the wrapped 

 apples kept decidedly better during the later months of stor- 

 age than the unwrapped. A comparison of results shows but 

 little difference in the effectiveness of the different wrapping 

 materials ; that clean newsjDaper is as good as the more expen- 

 sive forms. 



SUMMARY OF PART II. 



1. The rotting of apples is due to the growth in them of 

 certain fungi. Low temperatures are unfavorable to the 

 development of the fungi. A temperature of 34 degrees is 

 more effective than one of 40 to 45 degrees. 



2. When it is desired to keep apples for an extreme length 

 of time, I. e.^ beyond the first of June, wrapping is of decided 

 advantage.
