PACKING FLOWERS FOR SHIP- 

 MENT. 



In packing flowers for shipment by 

 express the following rules may with 

 safety be adopted. 



Cut flowers should be arranged in 

 single layers with pounded ice closely 

 packed along the entire length of the 

 stems. In cold or warm weather air 

 should be excluded from the blooms. 

 To accomplish this end, old newspaper 

 in quantity may be used as a lining to 

 the box, the latter to be of wood. The 

 newspapers will absorb the melted ice 

 and prevent the leakage so noticeable 

 in packages where ice is used without 

 an absorbent of some sort. Paste- 

 board boxes are apt to become moist-

ened and in turn collapse before reach- 

 ing their destination. 



As the folds of paper left for cover- 

 ing the flowers are necessarily heavy, 

 twine stretched from side to side and 

 directly above the flowers may be used 

 to prevent crushing. In every instance 

 parafline paper must be used next to 

 the flowers, as any paper of a bibulous 

 nature operates as a poultice when in 

 direct contact with dampened vegeta- 

 ble matter and destroys its vitality. 

 A wrapping of stout paper on outside 

 of box is also serviceable, as it helps 

 to preserve the ice. 



In packing floral designs for ship- 

 ment to any great distance, strong 

 pasteboard boxes may be used, as no 

 ice can be employed in such packing. 

 With the exception of carnations, vio- 

 lets and orchids, a spray of cold water 

 on the flowers will help greatly to sus- 

 tain them. As with cut flowers strings 

 should be drawn across the box to pre- 

 vent the hea^T weight of paper on in- 

 side of box crushing the floral part of 

 the design.
