occur late in the fall and sometimes continue for a considerable period Fancy apples Intended for long in cold storage should be cooled as soon as possible and kept cold The breathing process Is at the expense of cell contents and must weaken the keeping qualities as It goes on And this destructive action Is from four to six times as fast out of cold storage as Inside It Another fact In
