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 he wants them. Special attention has been given to investigational and historical 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.
