How to Keep Fruit

According to experiments of Max de Nansouty, fruit carefully wrapped in silk paper and then buried in dry sand will
preserve a fresh appearance with a fresh odor of flavor, almost indefinitely. It may also be preserved in dry excelsior,
but not nearly so well. In stubble or straw fruit rots very quickly, while in shavings it mildews quickly. In short, wheat-
straw fruit often takes on a musty taste and odor, even when perfectly dry. Finally, when placed on wooden tablets
and exposed to the air, most fruit decays rapidly.
