This cut of a valuable invention appeared some months since in the American Agriculturist, and has been furnished by our request by Mr*. Henry B. Osgood, the inventor. At the suggestion of fruit growers Mr. Osgood now makes them in any quantities that may be desired. Dr. Ward of New Jersey, George W. Chapin of Providence, T. S. Gold of West Cornwall, and others, have employed them to satisfaction. Strawberries, with a few leaves over them and the covers well secured, keep their bright color better than when sent in any other way. All who have employed them, we learn, speaks decidedly in their favor. For carnage, for long or short distances, we have no doubt they will be found very advantageous.

Dear Sir: - My spring frame for packages, or Transportation Protector, for which letters Patent were granted to me on the 4th of November last, is designed to protect fruits, and such things as are easily broken, or damaged by being bruised, during the process of transportation, storing and handling; and more effectually and easily than can be done by the ordinary means. In Fig. 1, of the drawings, A is a basket, or may be a box, or any other suitable vessel or receptable to contain the articles to be transported; B is the protector frame, and C is the elastic fastenings by means of which the vessel A is combined with the frame B, so that in whatever position (when secured by a cover) they may be tumbled upon the ground, floor, or vehicle of conveyance, the vessel A, with its contents, is supported within the' protector frame; the frame B, being enough larger than A to project on all sides, so as to receive whatever shock or jar there may be; and the elastic fastenings, C, prevent the shocks or jars being, transmitted to the vessel A. These elastic fastenings may be rubber bands, or of any other convenient form, or material.

The form which I suppose will be most convenient is, to have the vessel A, cubical, or nearly so. If the load to be transported is very easily bruised, as strawberries, raspberries, and the like, - where lower ones are liable to be crushed by the weight of those above - they should be put in shallow boxes, which are made to fit into the cubical one, and which will hold several of them; these shallow boxes may be of 1, 2, 3, 4, quarts each, or any other convenient size. When the load to be used does not require the shallow boxes, the protector may be used without them. For bouquets, and other light articles, I propose to make paper boxes with bands of tape looped at suitable places to receive the elastic fastenings.
