Storage buildinys.—There are many fashions in 
which storage houses may be built for home use. 
* Apples are often carried as low as 30°. 
Norr.—The director of the Genesee Fruit Company writes under date of 
May 22, 1897, us follows: “We carry apples at a temperature of 30 degrees, and 
we would advocate carrying them at 29 degrees for the first month in storage. 
Apples are going out of our warehouse in perfect condition ; in fact, there was 
one small lot, consisting of 198 barrels of Baldwins, which went out two weeks 
ago, and they were all run (or sorted), and the shrinkage occasioned by decay 
was 14% barrels. One of the most essential features in carrying apples is getting 
them in storage directly after they are picked from the trees, and we do not 
advocate receiving Greenings for storage after October 20.”
