To Pack Flowers.

How to pack flowers without break
ing or crushing the tender blossoms
has always been question, particular.
ly when it is necessary to ship such
fragile examples Of horticultural ART
as gardenias, camellias and orchids.
A method has been devised where
each separate bloom is tied by string
or ribbon, preferably the latter, to a
fat piece of cardboard through which
two holes have been puncheh for each
flower, so that ribbon may pass
through them as support. Then this
Is placed in a box and fastened tight
so that no amount of Earring can loos
en- it. Thus the flowers are left lying
in the box and cannot possibly come II

sides Of the box If they are sprinkleC

last three or four days and arrive a
their destination In the best of condi
