Apples intended for storage should be handled with the greatest care. It takes a little longer, but the returns are great as compared with the extra trouble.

A small rap will be unnoticed at first, but it will develop into- a serious lemish Jater and will promote decay. The slightest puncture of the ‘skin is an invitation for various fungus spores to-enter and cause quick decay.
