SHIPPING ASPAHAGUS PLANTS. 



How should potted asparagus plants 

 be packed to send by express? 



I. E. B, 



At tkis season of the year little or no 

 wrapping in paper is required in pack- 

 ing plants for shipment by express, but 

 if packed in pots they need a good layer 

 of excelsior between each row of plants, 

 and then a wooden strip or cleat firmly 

 nailed in order to keep the plants from 

 shifting. 



If the plants are small, that is, any 

 size up to 3-inch pots, I should pre-^eV 

 to lay them on their sides in regubr 

 layers in the ends of a box, the T'Ots 

 being separated from each other by a 

 small wad of excelsior, ard thou to 

 fasten each layer in place with a nar- 

 row strip, a sufficient quanfitj' of ex- 

 celsior being laid along the froiit of the 

 pots to act as a cushion between the lat- 

 ter and the wooden strip. 



With larger sized pots it .vould be bet- 

 ter to cover the floor of the box with 

 about an inch or two of excelsior, then 

 stand the pots upon it in regular rows, 

 making all tight with the packing ma- 

 terial, and then nailing the strips be- 

 tween the rows to keep the plants se- 

 cure, the box being finished with a crate 

 cover. 



In, frosty weather it would be neces- 

 sary' to wrap the plants in several thick- 

 nesses of paper, fasten them in the box 

 as before, and then finish with a tight 

 cover, the entire box having been well 

 lined with a good layer of paper on the 

 bottom, top, sides and ends. 



Packing plants in pot3 adds very 

 greatly to the weight and bulk of the 

 package, besides being much more risky 

 on account of possible breakage, and 

 should therefore be avoided as much as 

 possible in making express shipments.

Washington, D. C— O. A. C. Oehmler, 

 who has been at Butte, Mont., for several 

 months, is here again badly crippled by 

 rheumatism but improving. He was 

 c>alled east by the serious illness of his 

 daughter at Toledo, who is also much 

 better.
