POLYGONUM. 



I am sending you a spray of a plant 

 <)uite common in Michigan. Please tell 

 me what the name of it is. G. B. S. 



The plant is Polygonum cuspidatum. 

 It is one Of the larger polygonums, com- 

 ing originally from Japan. It is used 

 to some extent for tall groups among 

 shrubbery, and occasionally escapes from 

 gardens and grows wild. It is not quite 

 so robust as Polygonum Sachalinense.

COHHUGATED PAPER BOXES. 



Kindly advise us if the use of corru- 

 gated pasteboard boxes is practical for 

 shipping purposes in any kind of 

 weather? We use at present basswood 

 boxes and in zero weather line them 

 thickly with newspapers. We would like 

 to know if any shippers use pasteboard 

 boxes, and the cost of same per box or 

 per hundred. We would want three 

 sizes, one to carry 200 carnations, one to 

 carry 400 or 500 carnations, and one to 

 carry 600 to 700. Can you advise if 

 any up-to-date shippers have made use 

 of this class of box? W. G. 



Many shippers of cut flowers use corru- 

 gated pasteboard boxes in all kinds of 

 weather, of course lining and wrapping 

 as may be required in severe winter 

 weather. Probably a majority of the 

 Rhinebeck violets are shipped in these cor- 

 rugated pasteboard boxes, not only to 

 nearby New York market but to the dis- 

 tant Chicago market. And one large grower 

 ships roses to Chicago, a distance of 200 

 miles, in corrugated pasteboard boxes of 

 the largest size, rhere is a material sav- 

 ing in the express charges and, each 

 box being good for several trips, they 

 can be knocked down, bundled and re- 

 turned by freight, or even by express, 

 for less than has been the charge for the 

 return of the usual wood empties. As 

 to the cost of the corrugated box, it is 

 not large. For exact quotations consult 

 the advertisers in the Review. 



Sioux Falls, S. D. — Joseph Tossim 

 is building a new house this summer at 

 his place in the southeast part of town.
