A few years ago one of the large and 

 successful rose growers, who did a flour-

 crushing in the mail sack. After repeated 

 experiments the tube shape package was 

 tried, and gave the best results. Since 

 then the tube has undergone changes and 

 improvements till now it is conceded to 

 be the most efficient mailing package for 

 plants known to the trade.
