BUSHEL-BOXES. 



ALL-SLATTED BUSHEL BOXES. 



The above cut shows our new-style all-shitted 

 bushel box. We have two other styles; one has 

 slatted bottom and sides with one solid hoard for 

 each end, called the slatted bushel box. The other 

 has solid ends and close bottom and sides and is 

 bound with galvanized iron and called the galvaniz- 

 ed bnundbox. These boxes were devised by T. B. 

 Terry for handling potatoes, for which purpose 

 nothing could be handier. The potatoep are picked 

 up into the boxes in the field and left in them till 

 sold. Other crops, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, 

 and apples are heing handled in these same boxes. 

 They are of such a size that two go crosswise in an 

 ordinary wagon box. Outside measure is 14^x16% 

 xl3i4 deep, and they hold a bushel of potatoes level 

 full so they can be piled one upon another. The 

 above cut shows two all-skitted bores nailed up, and 

 a bundle of fifteen along side; 13 of the 15 are in the 

 flat packfd inside the other two. and nails of the 

 proper kinds are included. Ttie slatted and galvan- 

 ized J)ound boxes are put up in the same way, only 

 there are on'y 13 in a package instead of 15. Each 

 package weighs about 100 lbs.
