CHAPTER XLIII. 



ON PACKING PLANTS. 



I HAVE referred to the packing and shipment of 

 Camellia flowers. 



I will now endeavor to give my mode of packing the 

 plants. 



From the first of June until the last of September, I 

 pack in shallow wooden boxes, as represented in Fig. 42. 



ig. 4^ Box tor summer packing of plants. 



This box is twelve inches deep. 



Place upright strips of wood in each corner of the box, 

 on which nail a few laths to protect the plants and foli- 

 age from careless handling.
