Abstract
Abstract An asparagus container is provided including rectangularly arranged side and end walls. Closure flaps are provided on each side wall extending to the center of the bottom, partition flaps are hinged to the abutting ends of these bottom flaps, and supporting flaps are hinged to the upper ends of the partition flaps. Aligned slots extend across the side wall closure flaps and vertically through the partition walls. Bottom closure flaps are hinged to the end walls and underlie the side wall closure flaps. End wall partition flaps extend vertically through the slots. When filled, the side wall closure flaps and supporting flaps may be folded into upwardly diverging relation to divide the cross-sectional area into a center triangular strut and trapezoidal compartments on opposite sides thereof.
