Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The present-day market with its great variety of products is largely the result of modern methods of production, handling, grading, and packing, combined with improved transportation facilities that make it possible to ship to distant markets the most perishable fruits and vegetables. There are in addition storage facilities for the less perishable crops which insure a more even distribution and a year-round supply. With so many different fruits and vegetables to choose from, it is not surprising that the buyer is perplexed by the problem of selection. If the housekeeper is buying for a family, uppermost in her mind are the questions of what to buy, and how to buy to the best advantage. It is with the purpose of pointing out to the consumer factors of quality in fruits and vegetables that this publication has been prepared.
