THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
in Glasgow, the inspector reports of lot No. 1 that “while in very 
fair order as a whole, ... the fruit was rather ripe and in¬ 
clined to give way.” But of No. 2, he says that those counter- 
marked A were in good condition, of good color and even size, and 
those countermarked B, some of the fruit being smaller, were also in 
good condition with just an occasional bruise, and a few apples 
showing brown in the barrel. 
The sale of the two lots resulted as follows, there being a loss in 
both cases:

STORE QUICKLY AFTER PICKING 
There is no direct comparison in the case of the other six lots, 
as they were taken from different orchards and all held in cold 
storage, with no check lot in an ordinary warehouse. But it is 
clearly demonstrated that, in order to get the best results, the fruit 
should be placed in cold storage with the least possible delay after 
picking. As to time of picking, it appears that the later picked 
fruit had better keeping qualities. 
But perhaps the factor of chief importance to commercial 
interests, as demonstrated by these trial shipments, is the practic¬ 
ability of dispensing with repacking when fruit has been carefully 
packed at the start, and promptly placed in cold storage. 
In considering the results of these experiments, it must be 
remembered that the expenses connected with the superintending 
of the shipments by members of the Department of Agriculture, 
together with the carefully kept records, were much greater than 
they would have been in an ordinary commercial transaction, when 
handled by the producers.
