The illustration herewith represents one of the most useful inventions for the florists' use that has been recently introduced. It has been in use at the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont, for over two years, and the proprietors claim that it has saved them hundreds of dollars. It is used chiefly for carry- ing roses as they are cut, but can be used for carrying a w-eeding bo,x or dis- budding box, being much handier than pushing one along with the foot. It is also very useful when the time comes for taking cuttings. It leaves the oper- ator with both hands free for work in- stead of having to carry a basket on the arm. It can be moveJ about from one wire to another quite easily, as it only weighs about seven or eight pounds, and with the thumb screw attachment on the side can be raised or lowered to any de- sired height. Up to the time that this carrier camt. into use, it was the custom for each of the rose growers to have a man or boy carry the box when cutting, as the late Harry Dale was exceedingly particular as to how the flowers were handled. This has now all been done away with, and, as the man who is cutting can work just as quickly and as easily with the carrier as with the help of another man, it is estimated that the saving in labor yearly amounts to from $50 to $75 per carrier.
