The tender, delicate flowers, especially cattleyas,require careful methods of handling and merciless methods of handling express mattermust be taken into consideration and means adopt-ed to counteract the difficulty and obviate result-. ant loss. The open formation and frail characterof the flowers prevent close packing. Delivery by hand by special messenger may atfirst glance appear like a costly method, but it willpay in the end if within reasonable distance. Thevalue of fifty flowers per month saved by hand de-livery will more than compensate for the extracost, and there is the further saving from less carerequired and time expended in packing. For handdelivery, ordinary pasteboard boxes twenty-threeinches long, twelve inches wide and four inchesdeep are sufficient. They cost about four centseach. They can be packed to contain fifty cattleyaflowers, and from one to six boxes can be easilyhandled at one time by a messenger. A reasonably safe packing method for expressshipment, however, had to be devised for orders todistant points, and the following method was finallyadopted after much experimentation.
