PACKING SUMMER FLOWERS. 



The first step toward the successful 

 shipment of asters, dahlias, gladioli, 

 peonies and sweet peas would be to cut 

 them early in the morning, and to put 

 them in water at once, keeping them in 

 a cool cellar until time to pack them 

 for shipment, says W. H. Taplin in an- 

 swer to a query by a reader of the Eural 

 New Yorker. When packing either of 

 the first four flowers mentioned it is best 

 to use shallow boxes similar to those 

 used for packing long-stemmed roses, and 

 to pack them closely in regular order, 

 the boxes being well lined with news- 

 papers first and over these some wax 

 paper. If the weather is very warm 

 and the flowers are to be sent a con- 

 siderable distance, some cracked ice may 

 be sprinkled among the stems of the 

 flowers, though keeping the ice away 

 from the blooms with some wax paper. 



Any long-stemmed flowers that are to 

 be sent by express are safer with a light 

 cleat pressed down en the stems and 

 nailed in place, this precaution often sav- 

 ing the flowers from bruising when 

 roughly handled. 



Asters and dahlias should be almost 

 fully developed when they are cut, as 

 they do not advance so much in water 

 as the gladioli and peonies, the latter 

 being cut when not much more than half 

 open, and in very warm weather when 

 the buds are just bursting. Sweet peas 

 are not specially good keepers in warm 

 weather, and the sprays should be cut 

 when the first flower is open, if they are 

 intended for shipment, and the flowers 

 should not be sprinkled, else they will 

 soon drop. Some of the dahlias, and es- 

 pecially some of the cactus varieties, do 

 not keep very well when cut, but all are 

 benefited by being placed in buckets of 

 water for a few hours before shipment, 

 it being an advantage for long-stemmed 

 flowers to be placed in deep vessels, so 

 that the stems are immersed to a consid- 

 erable depth, and in common with all 

 cut flowers, they should be kept in the 

 shade and in as cool a place as possible. 



To my way of thinking, by all odds 

 the best paper. — H. L. Ciapp, Bipon, 

 Wis.
