Georgia's "Wraparound" Seedling Crate

a large-scale reforestation program such as the one in Georgia where 904 million forest tree seedlings have been shipped during the past 5 years, efficient packaging methods are essential. The "Wraparound" seedling crate described herein was developed for use by the Georgia Forestry Commission1 (fig. 1). Two sizes have been tested: Size 1 for 2000 trees, and size 2 for 500 seedlings. Sixty-eight thousand of these special wirebound boxes will be put into use during the 1960-61 planting season. Results from past tests, when one thousand of these crates were used, indicated that landowners in Georgia were well pleased with this new type package.
