EXPRESS PACKAGES. 



We hare received a report from a Cali- 

 fornia subscriber which indicates that 

 some Eastern shippers are rerr careless 

 in the war thev pack shipments of plants 

 for the Pacific coast. The subscriber 

 mentioned ordered plants amounting to 

 only $2.50 and received the plants in a 

 box built of two thicknesses of boards, 

 upon which the express charges were 

 $2.88. The box was one-third full, the 

 rest of the space being filled with paper 

 for stuffing. After the plants were taken 

 out the box and packing material were 

 found to weigh twelve and one-half 

 pounds, while the weight of the whole 

 package was only twenty pounds. In 

 other words, the recipient of this pack- 

 age paid express charges on twelve 

 pounds of useless matter, and even at 

 this part of the plants were wrapped in 

 paper only and were practically all dead 

 when received. 



It is possible that this package was put 

 up by a careless employe, but it certainly 

 should not have been permitted to go out 

 by the firm receiving the order. As a re- 

 sult of this transaction, the California 

 subscriber will naturally feel unsafe in 

 ever again ordering any plants from the 

 Eastern shipper mentioned, and the pos- 

 sibility of making him a permanent cus- 

 tomer has been killed. Shippers should 

 not fail to see that their customers are 

 treated just as they themselves would like 

 to be treated when ordering plants.
