A display container for a botanical sample includes (a) an enclosure having an interior chamber for storing the botanical sample; (b) a plurality of scent ports extending through a wall of the enclosure between the interior chamber and environment; (c) a plug mounted to the enclosure and sealing the scent ports, the plug movable away from the enclosure to expose the scent ports for facilitating sampling of an aroma of the botanical sample when in the enclosure; and (d) an elongate mounting projection in the chamber for retaining the botanical sample thereon.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a multisensory examination jar for botanical specimens. Embodiments of the disclosed jar may have a body portion with an integrated LED array for illuminating the contents of the jar. The jar may have a removable lid with an integrated magnifying lens, and an opening or port to enable a user to smell the contents of the jar. The opening may have a removable plug to establish a substantially air tight seal on the lid of the jar, to trap odors within the jar. The removable plug can be selectively removed to enable the user to smell the contents of the jar. The jar may have an electronics module and power source operable for wireless charging. The jar may also be configured to interface with a charging dock or base for wireless charging of integrated batteries.

A container assembly including, a carton base having a substantially planar bottom surface, a lid having a top surface and a plurality of sidewalls extending therefrom. The lid is releasably engaged with the carton base and forms an interior space when engaged with the carton base. The top surface of the lid includes: a plurality of raised platforms, each raised platform having a substantially planar top surface, and a plurality of channels extending between each of the raised platforms such that each of the plurality of channels continuously extends to a perimeter of the lid. Additionally, the carton base is formed of three distinct laminate layers, with at least one of the laminate layers including a resin and a board weight of 200 g/m.sup.2 to 300 g/m.sup.2.

The invention relates to broiler containers having a floor and side walls defining an inner volume which is designed and configured to receive and accommodate at least five live broilers, wherein the broiler container is designed and configured to be stackable with broiler containers of the same construction and has at least one ventilation opening and at least one air outflow opening, which broiler container is characterised in that the broiler container comprises at least one segment of a ventilation or air outflow column which extends through the inner volume and has at least one ventilation or air outflow opening at a distance from the side walls, wherein each segment of the ventilation or air outflow column is designed and configured for connection to corresponding segments of broiler containers of the same construction and also for connection to an active ventilation system. The invention relates also to a unit comprising at least two containers, to an arrangement comprising a unit and a ventilation system, to a transport trailer, to a poultry slaughterhouse, and to a method for ventilating the broilers.

The present invention encompasses a system which enables arrangements of various shapes and sizes to be packaged for delivery and transport utilizing a standard container. Systems in accordance with the present invention utilize a first and second container each capable of receiving a foam base utilized in the creation of an arrangement of a predetermined size. The first and second containers are of different sizes so that one may nest inside the other. Once nested, the containers form a locking engagement with one another.

A plant transportation apparatus enables the shipment of multiple plants such as flowers in a single container. The plants are held in place by a cap. It is contemplated that the apparatus could move small or large quantities of plants.

A moisture-retaining vegetation container is provided. The container may include an outer layer of a non-porous material that is impermeable to moisture. The outer layer may further be configured to enclose an interior space. The container may further includes one or more inner layers configured to fit within the interior space enclosed by the outer layer. The inner layers may include at least one absorbent material capable of absorbing a liquid and releasing the absorbed liquid within the interior space. At least part of the vegetation may be enclosed within the interior space, thereby allowing for continued moistening of the enclosed vegetation part during transport or other usage periods.
