Excerpt from The Cold Storage of Pears
The value of cold storage in the marketing of the pear lies primarily in prolonging the life of the fruit, and thereby extending the period of marketability. The placing of a part of the pear croup in cold storage, temporarily, to remove that portion from the market so as not to compete with the remainder, will probably become a growing practice.
