A seedling transportation apparatus for a transplantation machine transports a seedling tray not in an upright condition or in a curved or bent condition but in a horizontal condition. The seedling transportation apparatus includes a seedling taking out apparatus (B) for taking out a seedling (P) upwardly from a seedling tray (T) having seedling accommodating cells (Ta) in which seedlings (P) are accommodated, a tray transportation apparatus (C) having a horizontal transport path for transporting the seedling tray (T) toward said seedling taking out apparatus (B), a seedling carrying out conveyor (D) disposed at a location higher than said horizontal transport path of said tray transportation apparatus (C), and a transferring apparatus (E) for transferring the seedling (P) taken out by said seedling taking out apparatus (B) onto said seedling carrying out conveyor (D). <IMAGE>
