E. 1. SCHUTT ee A. HOEN & CO, 
NORTHWESTERN-GROWN JONATHANS DELAYED SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE BEING 
PLACED IN STORAGE WHEN WITHDRAWN FROM THREE MONTHS’ 
STORAGE AT 32° F. 
Fruits like the above,picked at the same time as the apple shown in Plate VI, are obviously 
too ripe even for immediate consumption, and entirely worthless for further storage. 
The delay of a few days prior to storage lessens oftentimes the length of time during 
which they can be held in storage by one or two months and seriously affects their 
flayor, quality, appearance, and market value.
