Packing Cut Flowers.

From the Kansas City Star.
At the time of the wealth of summer rose
blooming it is often desirable to send them
through the mail In fact, cut flowers of
every description are constantly sent
through the mails at this season, but sell
dom in such fashion as to preserve their
bloom and freshness.
To effect this Pack in light wooden box,
not using cardboard line the box with wad-
ding or cotton batting, laying over this a
sheet of tissue paper; then lay the flowers,
not on top of each other. but in rows, side
by side, the blossoms of each row on the
stems of their neighbors. Pack closely,
otherwise the flowers will be displaced and
injured in the journey.
Before packing they should stand in wa
ter for several hours, in order to absorb
moisture enough to keep them from wither-
ing. 1t is not well to sprinkle them too
heavily after they are in the box. for with
out air this is likely to produce mildew.
1t Is common practice to wrap damp
cloth about the stems before placing the
flowers in the box. but this will make the
packing uneven and cause the blooms to
become bruised, reside the danger of mil
dew.
If the stems have been allowed to absorb
all the moisture possible and they are close
ly packed as described, they can be sent at
long distances through the mail and will be
found fresh and bright when they reach
their destination.
