in leaves there was very little differenca in the aj-nount 

 of shrinkage from the different seimples. The sample 

 that was wrapped in leaves, however, decreased nearly 

 two oimces to the pound. 



The following tahle shows the condition this fruit 

 was in when examined the last time. 



This last variety seemed to be a poor ieeper. In 

 Janxiary the sample that was wrapped in leaves was begin- 

 ning to show signs of decay, howevey none of it was en- 

 tirely decayed at that time. 



It will also be noticed that the sample that was 

 wrapped in wrapping paper kept better than any of the 

 rest while the sample tliat was wrwpped in leaves all 

 rotted.
