ABSTRACT:
A shipping and display container for cut flowers includes a stackable box having means for supporting a partly filled bucket of water in which the stems of the cut flowers are placed. The box is formed from a blank which, when folded to the box configuration, effects an improved seal at the lower corner regions of the box to retard leaking of water from the box. A false bottom holds the bucket in place. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the flower bucket is molded from plastic and has integral side flanges which extend downwardly from the mouth of the bucket in a somewhat pyramid shape to define a self-supporting arrangement for the bucket. The lower edges of the flanges are upturned to provide a water receptive trough to retard leakage of water from the box.
