Undoubtedly it is just the thing many growers have been looking for. The illustration shows the sprink- ler in action and gives an idea of the amount of work that can be done in one operation. Chlcag:o Shippers Minimize Strike's Effects. The illustrations lierewith show the Chicago wholesale cut flower dealers and one of three trips made May 28 with shipments of cut flowers to be used in Memorial day work at out of town points. These shipments, as indeed most of the shipments made dur- ing the strike period, were handled by the Chicago Wholesale Florists' Asso- ciation, Fred Lautenschlager being superintendent of transportation. The top picture shows the accumulation of shipments one hour before train time, the estimated value of the flowers in these packages being $5,000. The lower picture affords a view of three wagons and many of the cut flower men, show- ing some of the wagons ready to leave thirty minutes before train time. The Chicago Wholesale Florists' Association deserves great credit for the prompt manner in which this matter was taken in hand, and the transportation manager deserves a considerable share of the commendation. When men can band together at trying times for the common good, as has been done in this case, and make things move that are not supposed to move, there need be no hesitation in placing business in the community that claims them. With the busy season nearly at an end, we believe we are correct in stating that no import- ant shipment was missed during the strike period where the material to fill the order was available. ;ie Heating.
