NORTHWESTERN-GROWN JONATHANS DELAYED SEVERAL DAYS. BEFORE BEING 
_PLACED IN STORAGE WHEN WITHDRAWN FROM THREE MONTHS? 
STORAGE AT 32° F.

The delay of a few days prior to storage lessens oftentimes the length of time durin

which they can be held in storage by one or two months and seriously affects their 
flavor, quality, appearance, and market value.
