1. A nozzle for a sprinkler which is connectible to a source of water under pressure, said nozzle having an inlet, an outlet and a flow passage extending between the inlet and the outlet, said outlet having far stream and near stream portions and being unpartitioned between said far stream and near stream portions whereby a single stream can be emitted from the outlet, said far stream portion having a center, said flow passage having a far stream portion and a near stream portion leading to the far stream and near stream portions, respectively of said outlet, said flow passage being unpartitioned between said far stream and near stream portions of said flow passage, said far stream portion of the flow passage converging toward the center of the far stream portion of the outlet as it extends toward said outlet and said near stream portion of the flow passage being less convergent toward the center of the far stream portion of the outlet as it extends toward the outlet than the far stream portion of the flow passage whereby the far stream portion of the flow passage provides a portion of the stream which travels farther than the portion of the stream which is provided by the near stream portion of the flow passage.
