PLATE 24. Slatted or open work boxes and barrels and the usual tight boxes 

 and barrels for storing vegetables and fruit for winter. All of the containers 

 shown here can be purchased second hand at any grocery store. (Lower)

 Moss is much cleaner and lighter than sand, and is especially useful where one 

 has not a regular cellar in which to store winter crops.
