BUSHEL BOXES. 



The above cut shows our new-style all-slatted 

 hushel box. We have two other styles; one lias 

 slatted bottom and .sides with solid ends in three 

 pieces caMeA the slatted hushel box. The other- has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes, and is bound 

 with galvanized iron and called the galvanizedhound 

 hox. These boxes were devised by T. B. Terry for 

 baiidlinsf potatoes, for which purpose nothing 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. Tiiey are of 

 such a size that two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-box. Outside measure is 14J^xl6%xl2>^ deep, 

 and they hold a bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon another. The above cut 

 shows two aU-slatted boxes nailed up, and a bundle 

 of 15 alongside; 13 of the 15 are in the flat, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. Tlie slatted and galvanized hoimdhoxvs 

 are put up in the same way, except there are only 13 

 in a package instead of 15. Each package weighs 

 about 85 to 90 lbs.
