BUSHEL B0XE5. 



The above cut siiows our popular ait-slatted 

 bushel hox. We have two other styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and side.s \vith stolid ends in three 

 pieces called tlie .s';a(<cd /ii(.s//('n»).r. The other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes, and is bound 

 with g-alvanized iron and called thegalvaiiizfidhuuud 

 box. These boxes were devised iDy T. B. Terry for 

 bandlinff potatoes, for which purpose nothinfi; could 

 be handier. The potatoes are picked up into the 

 boxes in the field and left in them till sold. Other 

 crops, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and apples are 

 being- handled in these same boxes. The.v are of 

 such a size that two p-o crosswise In an ordinary 

 wafroii-box. Outside mensure is 14;^xl67Lxl2X deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon another. The above cut 

 shows two atl-slattcd boxes nailed up, and a bundle 

 of 15 alongside; 13 of the l-'i nre in the flat, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. The slatted and galvanized hound boxes 

 are put up in the same way, except there are only 12 

 in a ]>ackage instead of 15. Each' package weighs 

 about 85 to 90 lbs.
