Canapa First! Insist on B.C. Fruit

for it represents a saving of 50 cents to $1 over the cost
of purchasing by the pound. You cannot afford not to
keep a box of this “concentrated health” constantly in
your pantry. .

HOW TO STORE APPLES FOR THE WINTER

Evenness of temperature is particularly important.
The cooler the fruit is kept without freezing the better,
the most desirable temperature being as near 32 degrees
F. to 35 degrees F. as possible. If there is a choice of
two rooms or cellars, that with the moister atmosphere
_should be selected. Cellars with earth floors will be
satisfactory. The boxes should be slightly raised from
the floor on sticks. To prevent bruising, always rest the
box on its side rather than on top or bottom.

It is desirable, whenever possible, that apples for
storage be moved directly from shipper to cellar. Apples
that have been kept for some time in a dealer’s ware-
house are less likely to keep well.

Not all apples store satisfactorily. It is important to
select only varieties suitable for winter use. A STUDY
OF THE TABLE ON PAGE 45 WILL INDICATE
WHICH ARE THE LONG-KEEPING, WINTER
VARIETIES.
