          Appeal No. 95-4359                                                          
          Application No. 08/041,190                                                  


                                      APPENDIX                                        

               12. A method of packaging plant material in a perforate                
          polymeric film comprising                                                   
               selecting a perforate polymeric film having from 10 to 1000            
          perforations per square meter, said perforations having a mean              
          diameter of 20 to 100 microns, said film having a water vapor               
          transmission rate which is substantially the same as the rate for           
          the film without perforations and having an oxygen transmission             
          rate which is controlled by the size and/or frequency of the                
          perforations in the film,                                                   
               placing the plant material in the perforate polymeric film             
          and                                                                         
               sealing the film to form a package containing the plant                
          material such that improved shelf life of the packaged plant                
          material is obtained.
