 which is pierced like a colander, through which is laced flat elastic braid. I 

 lift the braid with a peg, which is larger than the flower-stem, or with a piece of 

 bent wire : the stems being introduced, the elastic holds them quite fast. By 



first filling the tray, and then placing it within the box, a great deal of unneces- 

 sary fumbling is avoided. I generally pillow each flower with wadding. A 

 deeper box might be used, and tray upon tray. The boxes are japanned outside, 

 and painted inside. Price y. and 4^. dd. — G. Dunford, Gardener, Manor
