CHIC.'kGO FLORIST INVENTS. 



Self-watering flower pots, window 

 boxes and greenhouse benches are the 

 inventions of John Marks of Marks 

 Bros., 4S27 Warwick Ave., one of Chi- 

 cago's florists who works hard with 

 his hands while his mind is also at 

 work planning hard to better growing 

 conditions. His inventions have been 

 patented and manufacture of the 

 flower pots has begun. The principle 

 is that of capillary attraction, by 

 means of a false bottom in the flower 

 pot. made of the same material as the 

 pot itself. The window boxes and 

 greenhouse benches contain hollow 

 building tiles which take up the water 

 in the receptacles and convey it to 

 the soil above. The devices seem sim- 

 ple, inexpensive and effective as tried 

 out in the Marks Bros.' greenhouses, 

 and it is quite probable that more will 

 be heard of them later.
