ROME BEAUTY APPLES OF NORTHWESTERN PRODUCTION PICKED TOO EARLY. 
FOR HOLDING SATISFACTORILY AT NORMAL STORAGE Tf EMPERATURE OF 
32° F. FOR A SIX-MONTHS’ STORAGE PERIOD. 
Fruits like the one in the upper figure, with a vivid leaf green area on the shaded side, are 
too immature for satisfactory storage, even though there is considerable color on the 
sunny side. 
Cross section of a fruit at the same stage of maturity is shown in the lower illustration. 
The green color is apparent in the flesh.
