A method of scheduling items of information is disclosed, where each item of information has an associated priority that is a function of time. When a message, describing the additional text fields on header andor item level by means of name-value pairs, is received, the additional text fields are mapped into the database of the business application. The index information and the encrypted management key are transmitted to the semiconductor memory device. In preferred embodiments, the feed composition subsystem comprises at least one set of four or more feed-component flow restrictors, each of the four or more feed-component flow restrictors having a flow resistance that varies relative to other flow restrictors in the set. The method includes the steps of forming the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral holding material with a forming device such that an upper end of the floral holding material remains substantially uncovered, and thereafter securing the sheet of material about the floral holding material with a band.
