1,190,447. Containers for plants. M. BOURGET, A. GESNEL and J. ORARD. 30 May, 1967 [2 June, 1966], No. 24808/67. Heading A1E. [Also in Division B8] Plants uprooted for transplantation are stored by enclosing the roots in a soilless cultivation medium in a container formed of organic material penetrable by the roots so that the whole may be buried in soil at transplantation thus avoiding root disturbance. The container may be formed of a fibrous medium or simply a fine mesh plastics sleeve tied off above and below the roots. A net sleeve may enclose the container which in this case may be formed as a corrugated cardboard truncated conical wall member holding the medium round the roots. The wider end of the wall member is downwards. The root package is dipped in nutriment liquid and may be enclosed in a plastics bag prior to storage, the bag neck being held round the plant stem by an elastic band. The cardboard could be perforated.
