Excerpt from Economic Aspects of the Apple Industry Apple shipments during the summer months increased greatly from 1918 to 1926 both in California and inthe rest of the United States. The increase in June shipments is largely due to the greater amounts held in cold storage, The increase in July shipments is due to a marked increase in the shipment of Gravenstein apples from California and to increases in other parts of the United States as well. August shipments from California have not increased so much, but from the rest of the box area and from the barrel area there have been decided. Increases. These increases in shipments during the summer months have undoubtedly been largely responsible for the unsatisfactory prices received for Gravenstein apples during recent years.

The important perishable fruits such as watermelons, cantaloupes, peaches, and strawberries have their peaks of shipments three to five months earlier, and compete mainly with cold storage apples and early apples such as Gravensteins.
