Pi So-called transplanting machines have oeen perfected within the last few years for setting small herbaceous stuff, as cabbages, tobacco and tomatoes. These are really vehicles, drawn by horses, that open a furrow and drop a small quantity of water when the plant is in- serted in the furrow by the hands of an operator who rides on the machine. The plants, already prepared for setting, are carried in a tray or hopper, and the opera- tor places these between guards which automatically measure the distance. These machines are particularly. 2515. A transplanting box. specially designed for melons. It is made of a "flat" or splint 14 in. long and 3% in. wide, bent at four corners and held in place by a tack. It has no bottom. valuable in large areas where great quantities of plants are to be set, and also in hard and dry land where it is difficult to make the proper openings with the hand and also otherwise to supply the plant with sufficient water. For most small plants that are to be reset in small quan- tity, the dibber is a most useful implement to expedite the operation. Fig. 2544. Plants grown in pots and small shallow boxes trans- plant more readily than those grown in the open soil. Particularly is this true of pot-grown plants, for the bevel or slope of the pot allows the ball of earth to be "knocked out" readily. See Potting. Special trans-
