 to assume that a buyer can safely base 

 his calculation on those prices and can 

 also safely depend on getting what he 

 orders, provided the order is placed in 

 time. 



The Box and the Bagging Needle. 



Nearly every shipper of cut flowers 

 .has, at some time or other, experienced 

 a painful, moment when his flowers, 

 that had taken months of care to pro- 

 duce, were ruthlessly bruised or even 

 smashed in transit. These instances 

 have always cost the growers heavily. 

 Sometimes they recovered damages, but 

 aot always; when they did, it usually 

 oost a lot •f time, energy and some 



cash to do it. It always seemed as 

 though these accidents came at the 

 most inopportune time, hitting flowiiers 

 which were most expensive and which 

 could not be replaced. 



The safety of all such shipments lies 

 in the corrugated box and the bagging 

 needle. Everybody knows, and nearly 

 everybody uses, the corrugated box. 

 Not everybody knows, and few use, 

 the bagging needle. It was discovered 

 in this way: A grower who had suf- 

 fered some painful moments when hear- 

 ing of things that happened to his 

 flowers and how they looked when un- 

 packed, resorted to tying them in the 

 boxes. It was a slow process to cut 

 a hole in each side with your knife and 



then poke the string through both holes 

 and tie it. The grower appealed to his 

 wife for some quicker means of tying 

 the flowers in. She produced a bagging 

 needle. Now he runs the string through 

 both sides of the box in a jiffy and 

 ties it in less tima than it takes to say 

 Jack Robinson. Best of all, the flow- 

 ers get there safely. 



A Calendar and a Pen Picture. 



I dropped in at Edward Beid's late 

 one afternoon this week and was 

 treated to a sort of rehearsal produc- 

 tion of a little treat that he has in 

 store for his friends. Mr. Reid plans 

 sending out a calendar after Christmas 

 that is merely an excuse for presenting
