Early Plants.— (Figs. 54, 55.) 

 This consists of long strips of 

 sacking or any other cheap 

 material, the sides of which 

 are sewed together as shown 

 in fig. 54. Pieces are cut 

 from such rolls, they are rilled 

 with earth, and in them the 

 seeds are sown. When trans- 

 planting, pots and all are set 

 in the field. Fig. 55 shows 

 the method of carrying or 

 storing them in flats or trays. —
