Proper Storage of Fruit

The keeping of fruit requires a uniform, low temperature, just above the freezing point. Fruit, in ripening, gives off carbonic-acid gas, which is deleterious, hence fruit should not be stored in the house cellar, if it can be avoided. Where there is no other place for the fruit, then the ventilation of the cellar must be carefully looked to.
