ABS is sampling from address frames that are usually based, in part, on the USPS files. Although approaches for selecting samples of addresses for mail or in-person surveys have existed for decades, the surveyâs success depends heavily on the availability of a suitable address frame.
Water and water uptake are major factors in keeping cut flowers fresh. A process called hardening ensures maximum water uptake. It simply means placing the freshly cut stem in 110Â° F (43.5Â° C) water (plus preservative). Place in a cool location for an hour or two.
Uncut watermelons are best stored at temperatures of 50-60Â°F (10â16Â°C). In many regions, room temperatures will typically be warmer than 60Â°F and may be less than ideal for whole watermelon storage due to increased risk of decay.
