Cold Storage and Transport in Canada. 



39 



Special provision has been given to trial shipments of 

 tender fruits, such as pears, tender apples and peaches, during 

 1897, 1898, and 1899. A small cold storage building was 

 provided at Grimsby, Ontario. The information which has 

 been gained by the trial shipments for three years shows that 

 pears and the early tender varieties of apples can be shipped 

 inicold storage, landed in good condition, and sold readily at 

 satisfactory prices. It is important that the fruit should be 

 picked in the right condition of ripeness for the particular 

 variety. Some of the shippers in the Niagara district desired 

 to send further trial shipments on their own account and 

 responsibility in 1900.
