G. C. WATSON, PHILADELPHIA, WHOLESALE PRICE LIST, 1895. 
A New Shipping Box for Cut Flowers, 
“<§foe pepfe©tion” 
This box is designed to fill the needs of the growers of cut flowers, who require something 
that will combine lightness with strength, and which can be furnished at a moderate price. 
The “ Perfection ” is made of well-seasoned poplar wood, inch in thickness; brass corners ; 
cleats on bottom outside; stays inside; at ends and in middle ; each box fits perfectly on top of 
the other and adds to the strength ; one lid 
is supplied to every three boxes. They 
are heavily varnished with shellac outside 
and in, and absorb no moisture. Being 
manufacrdred for me in quantity, I am 
enabled to offer them to the trade at the 
following very reasonable prices : 
No. I. Size, 36x12x6 ins., in sets of 3> 
per set, $2.70. 
No. 2. Size, 30x12x6 ins., in sets of 3. 
per set, $2.55. 
Extra Lids, 15 Cents Each. 
The “ Perfection ” is already in use by 
many of the largest Philadelphia shippers, 
and is strongly recommended by them. 
A box practical and durable, light and 
strong, and with all the other good features 
described above, which can be sold for the 
low price of 85 and 90 cents per box, (in 
sets of 3), is certainly a boon to all flower 
growers. Inspection invited. Mail orders 
will receive prompt attention. Send for a 
sample set at once. If not pleased with 
them I will refund your money. 
WHAT THEY SAY 1 
From C. E. MEEHAN “ I consider the 
“ Perfection ” Cut Flower Shipping Box, 
which I am now using, the best that I. have 
yet seen for carrying or shipping cut flowers. 
It combines lightness with strength, and 
being well varnished the wood absords no 
water.” (Signed), Chari.es E. Meehan. 
What Mr. KEFT says: “The ‘Perfec- 
tion ’ Cut Flower Shipping Box for those 
handling large quantities of flowers, is, I 
think, the best thing of its kind up to date. 
It has all the improvements suggested by the 
principal cut flower growers of Philadelphia, 
and is considered by them to be the best 
thing of the kind in the market.” 
(Signed), Robert Kift. 
From Mr. JOS. HEACOCK “ I have 
found these Boxes much superior to baskets 
for carrying roses and other cut flowers in. 
As they are quite shallow the flowers do not 
get bruised, and being well made are very 
durable, and as they are made of poplar 
wood, are very light in weight. 
(Signed), Joseph PIeacock.
