As was done in the other cases, the fruits were placed in a room 
where the temperature was about 60° F. during the day and some- 
what less during the night. 
At the end of one and two weeks the conditions were as follows:

THIRD TEST. 
Condition of the fruit on 
March 31. 
Decayed spots enlarged 
in most of the fruits. 
Slight decayed areas. 
Slight decayed areas. 
Large decayed areas on 
all of the fruits, 
Large decayed areas on 
most of the fruits. 
Fungus is growing, but 
decayed spots are 
small. 
Condition of the fruit on 
April 7. 
Decayed spots have con- 
tinued to enlarge. 
Fungus is fruiting. 
Decay developing and 
fungus fruiting at 
nearly every point of 
inoculation. 
Decay areas enlarging. 
All fruits completely de- 
cayed. 
Every fruit more than 
one-half decayed. 
Fungus is growing and 
causing decay. 
These results were also the same as in the previous experiments. 
These experiments were made with the same species of fungus, 
using an assortment of varieties of apples, and the results are con- 
sistent in all cases. None of the fungi used proved to be capable 
of developing in the low temperature except the blue mold, Pencil- 
lium glaucum, which grew sparingly. The low temperature did 
not destroy any of the fungus spores, but simply retarded their 
germination. Upon removal to a higher temperature germination 
took place and decay of the fruit tissue resulted.
