The Hose Situation
To determine the conditions of
Rose pears as they were sold to
thp consumers of New York City,
surveys of retail establishments
were made at intervalnof about 10
days throughout the season. These
included uhnnt HO establishments
f tiicludine fancv fruit amnds. out
door stands, subway stands, push
carts, public markets and grocery i
stores. 1 itemed In various parts of '
the cliy. '

Weniher. . The data collected in j
the above manner shows that dur- ;
lug October and early November, i
jgj while the prevailing temperature i
j . I were fairly high, about 90 per cent .
j I of the Boso pears offered for Hale;
were ripe and in good condition
for rwting. After November IIHIi. i
Jiowever. when t lit weather be
came fooler, mist.. irt ..the ..Rose
pears ol'feml were luirtl ami im
ina l lire. The figures show that
over Wt Mr fetit of tho Boko; sold
to coiisimM'rs during this iHriod
were' pi-tit'lictill) um-dlblt. A few '
establishmentH such as the fruit j
stands in the subway stations,
where temperatures are always
fairly high, offered ripe Bone pears I
throughout the season. A few .
fancy fruit dealers, who condition- j
ed the fruit, also, offered good j
Bosc pears during most of the time j
but those constitute only a small j
percentage of the retail trade of
New Vork City.
: These data emphasize in a prac
tical way, the results of experimen
tal evidence to the effect that
Bosc pears . require fairly high
ripening lemiioratiires. It Is true
tFmt this variety will sometimes
take on color at eohl temperatures.
but the color change lit such ciisc
is in it. m'f-miiNiiiicu ity mrmiwiiift

velopineul In Midi cases Is an in
dex of ft diseased condition rather
than an Index of iiorinal rltH-nlng.
It is only when proper ripening
temperatures ore supplied that
color and actual maturity develop
simultaneously.
. Jobbers nnd Retailers Not, J'ro
pined to Comlitloii - Hose Penrr.
ObvlousJy the jobbers and retailers
of New Yoik and other eastern
cities are not in position to con
dition Bosc pears. Practically none
of these, operators have storage
space, and what little space they
do have Is usually subject to out-of-door
temperatures and Is un-
.uuuu nu- me iui w. i lieu, uh, i
tills space Is generally used lor the
storage of produce of all kinds ami
healing is out of the question.
It must be borne in mind, also,
that an unusually large number of
individuals are engaged In the
jobbing and retail fruit trade, and
even if space were available, It
would he practically Impossible to
leach this vast army the method
of ripening pears In a proper man
ner. -
Consumers will Not Take Time
(o Ripen Bosc Pea rs. The possi -bllity
of educating the consumer
to ripen Bosc pears before they
are eaten was given attention dur
ing these studies, but it soon be
came evident -that this procedure
was impossible. When the aver
age city consumer takes fruit
home, he generally expects u use
it immediately, and when he buys
a pples. gra pes. bana nas, oranges,
and other fruits, he usually finds:
then ready for eating at th time
of purchase. Space is at a prem
ium in the average city dwelling.
No great supply of food stuffs can
he kept on hand.
Then, too. condtions in the aver
age city home or apartment are
not Ideal for the rtpontng of Bosc
pears. As a rule, food stuffs are
kept in ice boxes or under mechan
ical refrigeration, and Bosc pears
will nut ripen under these condK
lions. Living rooms, as a rule,-are"
warm enough for the ripening .of
pears, hut the humidity of . such
rooms is usually too low for good
results.
Banana 1litrnhi ltnnns Not
Available. The possibility of con
ditiuning Bosc pears In the rooms
now used for the ripening of ba
nanas was given some attention.
It was found, however, that these
rooms are now being used to full
capacity ami that they are gener
ally unsuited for pears. In New
York City these rooms are located
in the produce district, some ins
tance away from the piers, and
trucking to and from them prior
to the auction sale is impossible
under the present regulations and,
method of handling fruit.
Conditioning Rooms Should Be
on Main Routes of Travel. It now
appears that ripening or condi
tioning rooms for Bosc pears In
New York City should be located
on the main lines of travel, be
tween the classification yards nnd
the piers. The large cold storage
plants .on the Jersey side of the
Hudson river seem to be the log
ical locations for such rooms. Not
only can space and proper ripen
ing conditions be provided nt these
places, hut it is desirable that re
frigeration space be within easy
each of the conditioning rooms.
Owing to market or other condi
tions It may be necessary, at times,
to return the fruit to cold storage
after it has gone thru the ripening
process. This would be practically
impossible if the conditioning
rooms were located on the piers or
at some distance from the cold
storage plants.
Facilities Necessary for Condi
tioning Bosc Pea is. Ripening of
Bosc pears In caiiond lots Is not
difficult, but certain facilities are
necessary to do the work in a
satisfactory manner. It Is neces
sary to have a room Wherein a
fairly high ami constant tempera
ture can he maintained. Temper
atures varying between 00 and 70
degrees Fahrenheit will usually
ripen Bosc pears In a satisfactory
manner, but to be able to gauge
the ripening so that sales dates can
be fixed in advance, it is necessary
to have a fnirly constant tempers-

be accomplished by means of small,

In addition, a fairly high humid
