When the department store's packages come to the shipping room the shipping clerk has the floor marked off, in some cases with perma- nent partitions and sometimes merely with paint, with a space for each trip each wagon is to make. Each package as received in the shipping room goes direct to the proper space on the floor. Consequently, when the wagon is ready to start everything that has reached the shipping room is ready to go on the wagon; nothing is left behind. If the florist adopts this system, it will obvi- ate tbe exasperating special trips to de- liver the one plant that did not get on the right wagon; the proWem then will be to get the orders put up before the wagon starts. In ease there is a wagon for each route, so that all can start at once, the florist will bend his efforts to getting all the orders put up at the hour at which deliveries are scheduled to start. If the wagons, or some of them, are to make two trips the florist will sort his orders and put up the orders first that go on the early route, putting up those for the second route while the wagon is out on its first trip. With greenhouses at his back, the florist's preparations for delivery are greatly simplified. A bench can be set apart for the plants that can be deliv- ered Saturday, and others for Sunday's deliveries, and space in the greenhouse probably can be provided, as the plants move out, so that the sales for each sec- tion of the city for each day can be set away by themselves. The man who has neither greenhouses nor unused floor space back of the store, as is the case with many of the stores in city business blocks, can do little more than tag his plants "Sold" as his customers pick them out and then work up his de- liveries as he gets the chance.
