Guernsey Frnit Box. 



This is a round box, fig. 113, made of thin veneer and 

 reversible, as either end may be used as the cover, there 



being a thin band within 

 which holds both ends to- 

 gether. This box would 

 answer better for Currants 

 and Gooseberries, than for 

 Raspberries and similar 

 fruit, as it is not ventilated ; 

 but this might be done by 

 boring holes through one 

 end. Manufactured by Wm. 

 B. Guernsey. Price, $50 per 1000.
