Description
Excerpt from The Gathering, Packing, Transportation and Sale of Fresh Vegetables and Fruits: Competent Inspection and Free Markets for Producers, (Read Before the American Public Health Associations, Philadelphia, 1874)
IT is not my purpose, at present, to discuss this question in all its important relations to the health of cities and of communities of con sumers, but brie?y to invite the attention of this association to a few suggestive inquiries, with the view of securing, through a competent committee, a thorough consideration of the effects upon public health, of the deterioration of fresh vegetables and fruits, as offered for sale in the markets of the principal cities of this country, and how far this deterioration is attributable to the manner of gathering, mode of pack ing, and transportation from the farm or garden to the city markets.
