BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE PRESERVATION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN TRANSIT AND STORAGE, WITH ANNOTATIONS.

Compiled by Katharine G. Rice.

In assembling this bibliography an attempt has been made to cover rather completely the publications issued prior to July 1, 1920, that have a bearing on the preservation of fruits and vegetables in transit and storage. The successful marketing of perishable products depends to a large extent on harvesting and transporting or storing them in such a way that they will reach the consumer in a satisfactory condition at the time bo wants 1sh©8u • . :. .

Special attention has been given to investigational and his- torical material. Bulletins and articles of a popular nature which deal with the practical application of the results of investigations and with commercial practices have also been included. It is hoped that the annotations will be useful in giving some idea of the extent and character of the material included in the references.

This bibliography was planned and begun by Mr. Edwin Smith, who was formerly connected with the Division of Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables in Transit and Storage of the Bureau of Markets. It was then turned over to Miss Caroline B„ Sherman, at that time Librarian of the Bureau of Markets, who delegated Miss Katharine G, Rice to complete the work. The outline prepared by Mr, Smith and the refer- ences which he had selected were found very useful. Before the bibli- ography was completed, Miss Sherman and Miss Rice were transferred to the Division of Market Information and because of the pressure of other work it was laid aside. At the request of the present librarian it has been completed recently.

A few references to material published in foreign languages are included. The titles have been translated into English but the annota- tions indicate the language in which the articles are written.

The call numbers shown at the right hand side of the pages are those used in the Library of the Department of Agriculture and, of course, will be useful only in connection with work carried on in that particular library.
