EXPRESS RATES. 



Tlie action of the express companies 

 in putting in force a rate of one and 

 one-half times merchandise rate on cut 

 tlowers has brought fortli many pro- 

 tests. It is generally understood that 

 the action is due to losses sustained by 

 the companies, due tu claims for dam- 

 ages on ac<-ount of flowers frozen in 

 transit or miscarried. Some correspond- 

 ents state that double merchandise rate 

 is asked on cut flowers, hut in Chicago 

 the circulars of the companies give the 

 rate as one and one-half. And it seems 

 to be generally understood, though not 

 so officially stated, that by waiving the 

 right of claim for damages in case of 

 loss, the old rate may he obtained. In 

 this coniipction we print below copy of 

 a letter addressed to the superintendent 

 of the Pacific Express Co., St. Louis, by 

 ifr. Geo. M. Kellogg, Pleasant Hill, Mo., 

 under date of December 0: 



Dear Sir: We wish ti5 enter protest against 

 the recent ruling of the express companies 

 that no claims would be allowed for damage 

 to dowers by freezing; for, while r'ur loss up 

 to this time has ticen very little, and we have 

 never been able to coUect that "little." we 

 feel sure that the fact that your employees were 

 to a certain degree liable to hare to pay auch 

 losses, has been tlie chief reason of the smallness 

 of ours in the past, and we are equally certain 

 that for you to remove from the niintis of 

 your employees all fear of loss t>i themselves 

 on account of damaged stock, will open the 

 way for carelessness and negligence on their 

 part, and result In heavy losses to the shipper 

 and disappointment to his customers. 



We have today received several protests from 

 our customers, who have been Informed of the 

 new ruling, and they ask what assurance we 

 can give them that Iheir goods will receive 

 proper attention en route. You will see that 

 ,vou have deprived them of what little protec- 

 tion they did have, and they are now lixtking 

 to us for some assurance of relief, which we 

 cannot give. Yours very truly. 



George M. KF;Li,or,o. 



This is a matter that vitally affects 

 the whole trade and united action should 

 certainlv be tjiken. 



The December number of Meehan's 

 Monthly is to be the last issued, which 

 is to be regretted, as it has undoubtedly 

 been of great value in stimulating a real 

 love for flowers and nature. 



Cle Elum, Wash. — John A. Balraer 

 has bought out the interests of the oth- 

 ers associated with him and will con- 

 tinue the business under his individual 

 name, dropping the "Floral Co."
