will not stand freezing. The proper
stage of maturity, at which to take
apples from the tree, if for market,
will be governed somewhat by the dis
lance to the place where they are to
be sold. If near by and requiring no
shipping the fruit may be left on the
tree until 1t is nearly mellow. which
is the hest condition for summer and
fall varieties for dessert purposes
But if to be shipped a long distance
1t should be picked as soon as the
seeds fully mature. Winter apples
may be allowed to remain on the trees
as late in the fall as may be safe from
freezing. but II any varieties should
commence 10 drop from the tree they
should be picked at once. They may
be piled up in the orchard under the
trees In while without injury and
assorted and packed in barrels, or
preferably boxes. as soon as the gath

place the fruit In crates and take It
to storage room, where IL NAV be
