FLOWER BOXES 



Successful Florists use Sefton Boxes. To have success in shipping 

 flowers, YOU should use them. 



We offer a complete and superior line of cut flower, folding boxes in 

 numerous grades and sizes, as well as Corrugated Fibre Board Boxes 

 for Live Plants and Floral Designs. 



Sefton Florists' Boxes combine high quality with low price. We man- 

 ufacture them in large quantities and thus are able and pleased to 

 give you the benefit in reasonably low prices. 



A box of high quality attracts the eye and makes it a pleasure to open 

 a neat, tasty package. Sefton Florists' Boxes are trade builders, inas- 

 much as they are high class and make a good impression. Purchasers 

 of our boxes were once users of the inferior grades. 



Write for prices on your requirements.

The summer dullness was broken last 

 week by a good run of funeral work. 

 There were more flowers used at the

 one for many a day, 



Louis Kirch, the green goods grower, 

 has been making repairs on his green- 

 houses so as to be ready for fall, to 

 meet the increasing demand for this 

 class of stock. 



The annual picnic of the Kentucky 

 Society of Florists will be held at
