Bushel boxes. 



The above cut shows our new-style all-slatted 

 bushel hijjc. We have two other styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and sides with solid ends in three 

 pieces caXled the slatted huslicl box. Tlie other has 

 solid ends and close bottom and siaes, and is bound 

 with galvanized iron and called tho galvanized bound 

 box. These bo.xes were devised by T. B. Terry for 

 haudlinif 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. They are of 

 such a size tluit two go crosswise in an ordinary 

 wagon-bo.\. Outside measure is 14^xl6'^8xl3>^ deep, 

 and they hold si bushel of potatoes level full so they 

 can be piled one upon anotlier. The above cut 

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

 t)f 15 alongside; 13 of the 15 are in the flat, packed 

 inside the other two, and nails of the proper kinds 

 are included. The slatted and galvanized boundhnxes 

 are put up in the same way, except thei'e are only 13 

 in a package instead of 1.5. Each package weighs 

 about 85 to 901 1 js.
