Apples may be had fresh and crisp
the year round by keeping them dry
and cool. In cellar that is well aired,
dry and free from mold of any sort all
that is needed Is to place the fruit upon
shelves or in shallow boxes, SO that
they do not touch each other If there
is not room enough for this they may
be wrapped in soft paper SO that there is
no contact between them, and placed in
boxes. If the cellar is not perfectly
dry, sprinkle in the bottom of boxes or
barrels about two inches of dry sand
fire dried is best), and carefully place
a layer of apples on this, then sprinkle
in more sand and place another layer
of fruit, and SO on until the package is
filed to within two inches of the top;
then cover this with sand, to exclude
the air, and if the fruit is sound when
packed, and the sand dry, you may eat
good apples next July.
