130 REPoRT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY OF THE 
tions were taken to clean the fruit before the inoculations and to 
use sterile instruments in doing the work. 
Immediately after the inoculations were made the fruit was taken 
by messenger to the cold storage house and placed at once in a room 
that contained other fruit where the temperaturé was 32° F. 
The varieties used were Swaar, Fall Pippin, Twenty Ounce, 
‘Winter Banana, Deacon Jones, Fameuse, Reinette Pippin, Dickin- 
son and Water. The same species of fungi were used as before, 
together with a few other species of no commercial importance. 
The inoculations were made and the fruit placed in the cold 
storage house on January 18, 1906. It was removed, brought to the 
laboratory at Geneva, photographed and examined on March 22, 
thus being in the storage house 9 weeks. | 
The condition of the fruit upon its removal was as indicated in 
the following table:
