ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for both shipping and starting the growth of plant seeds. Two container portions are mutually engageable to form a receptacle for the transportation of plant seeds and cylindrical disks of plant growth matter. The container por- tions are substantially identical and interchangeable as the repository and cover member of the receptacle. Each container portion has three compartments formed by three partitions rising orthogonally from the base of the container and abutting equi- angularly about the center of the base. A pair of ribs is dis- posed in each compartment between adjacent abutting partitions, and a vertical projection extends upward from the side of the container within each compartment generally along a line bi- secting the angle formed by adjacent abutting partitions. Preferably, an upright member is attached to the end of each of the partitions, rising from the base of the container to a height slightly less than that of the upper edge of the con- tainer. Each pair of ribs supports the bottom of a disk of plant growth matter, while the adjacent abutting partitions, upright members and projection engage the periphery of the disk to prevent lateral movement. When transporting the device, six disks are located in the repository, two being stacked vertically in each compartment. When the cover is placed on the repository, it is situated so that an upright member in the cover extends above each compartment in the repository. The upright member can be of a sufficient height to securely retain the disks, or the upright member, in combination with printed matter, such as instructions and seed packages placed on top of the stacks of disks, can securely retain the disks.
