Abstract

A container for transport and display of cut flowers or the like. The container includes a cardboard box having a lower divider which divides the lower region of the box into two compartments. A water-tight plastic bag is placed inside the box, lining the inner surface of the box and the sides of the lower divider. An upper divider placed within the plastic bag and attached at opposite ends to opposite side walls of the box further partitions the box into four upright compartments. A lid for covering the box during transport has a pair of openings which coincide with openings in the box to provide a pair of container handles. In use, the lower region of the box is filled with water and cut flowers are placed in the four upright compartments with their stems in the water.
