Cold Storage Carrots Carrots are wel !1 adapted for stor-' age. In a recently published scientific quality, even after prolonged stor- age. In a recently published scientific work it is stated that , •contrary to common belief, the eating quality of old carrots' is equal to, if not ;better than, that of yroung carrots, since sweetness increases with age, ,while the fibre content remains practically , unchanged. Carrots can be 'held in storage for six months without seri- ous, deterioration, provided the temp- erature is maintained between 312 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit and the relat- ive humidity above 90 per cent.
