will tit into a wooden box about 10 X 12^^ inches. The 

 box has a hinged side to allow of the removal of the 

 sections. For plants which do not bear transplanting 

 at all well the Seed Raiser should be useful, for after 

 loosening the bottom the Seed Raiser and plant can 

 just be placed into the hole and planted intact without 

 disturbing the roots in the least. It is particularly to 

 the .Sweet I'ea grower that this invention will appeal ; 

 he has only to till up his sections with compost, sow his 

 seed and label his plants until the time of planting out 

 comes. The names of each variety can be written 

 upon the box, and then the grower will have no 

 vexatious mixing of his seedlings. The T. P. Seed 

 Raiser is manufactured by the T. P. Seed Box Co.,
