Straw hood

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Straw hoods and bell jars from the period between 1661 and 1762

Straw hoods were used to protect plants from the cold. Peter Lauremberg described them in 1631. They also served as padding for storing glass bells and were used to protect the plants under them from too much sunlight by placing them over them.
