Keeping Vegetables
Sir, —Some of us do not purchase the expensive firstgrade fruits and tomatoes displayed in stores and must be content with less luscious products. Why should these, j put up for sale at slightly less cost, be unusable the day after they are bought? The I next day they are either rotden (tomatoes) or brown [spotted (apricots). Tomatoes were, at one time, the bestI keeping summer vegetable, i sound and sweet-smelling for months on their outdoor grown stalks hung up in I barns without spray or mil- : dew.—Yours, etc., SCIENTIFIC LEADS. | January 21, 1967.
