The boxos should be made. of light: planed lumber and so construvted as to allow of ventilation.

Ventila- tion vould ho provided for by using side pier-1’s slightly narrower than‘ called for by tho dopth of the box. 'l'ha top and bottom pieces should romp. flush to the corners. This would leave a ventilating slit along the side without weakening the package. Such a. case would hold about four dozen medium sizod tomatoes. ‘ Mr. Craig, horticulturist at the, Con- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. has arranged the following notes {or the guidance of tlmsv who may be invlined tn have :1. share in the development of this business.
