FREEZING TEMPERATURES 



MISCELLANEOUS FRUITS 



A number of other fruits and berries were investigated, but only one 

 variety was available in each case. The results are included in table 

 2, covering the average freezing points of all the fruits studied. Three 

 kinds of nuts were frozen, viz, Italian chestnuts, Persian (English) 

 walnuts, and pecans. 



FREEZING POINTS OF VEGETABLES 



Although several different kinds of vegetables have been used in 

 the freezing-point determinations, those on which the most extensive 

 varietal studies have been centered are potatoes, sweetpotatoes, and 

 tomatoes. These results are found in table 3.
