for a period of not more than five years 

 nor less than one year, if by sucli action 

 lie can best protect the interests of the 

 United States. 



"An equal proportion of five-sixths 

 of all seeds, bulbs, shrubs, vines, cut- 

 tings, and plants, shall, upon their re- 

 quest, after due notification ])y the sec- 

 retary of agriculture that the allotment 

 t() their respective districts is ready for 

 distribution, be supplied to senators, 

 representatives and delegates in con- 

 gress for distribution among their con- 

 stituents, or mailed, by tlie department 

 upon the receipt of their addressed 

 franks, in packages of sucli weight as 

 the secretary of agriculture and the 

 postmaster general may jointly de- 

 termine: 



"Provided, however, that upon each 

 envelope or wrai)per containing pack- 

 ages of seeds the contents thereof shall 

 be plainly indicated, and the secretary 

 shall not distribute to any senator, rep- 

 resentative, or delegate seeds entirely 

 unfit for the climate and locality he rep- 

 resents, but shall distribute the same 

 so that each member may have seeds of 

 equal value, or as near as may be, and 

 the best adapted to the locality he rep- 

 resents: 



"Provided, also, that tlie seeds al- 

 lotted to senators and representatives 

 for distribution in the districts em- 

 ])raced witliin the twenty-fifth and 

 thirty-fourth parallels of latitude shall 

 be ready for delivery not later than the 

 tenth day of January: 



"Provided, also, that any portion of 

 the allotments to senators, representa- 

 tives, and delegates in congress remain- 

 ing uncalled for on the first day of April 

 shall be distributed by tlie secretary of 

 agriculture, giving preference to those 

 ]iersons whose names and addresses have 

 been furnislicd by senators and repre- 

 sentatives in congress and wlio have not 

 before during the same season been sup- 

 ])lied by the department: 



"And provided, also, that the secre- 

 tary shall report, as provided in this 

 act, the jdace, quantity, and price of 

 seeds purchased, and the date of pur- 

 chase; but nothing in this jiaragraph 

 shall be construed to prevent tiie secre- 

 tary of agriculture from sending seeds 

 to those who apply for same. 



"And the amount herein appropriated 

 shall not be diverted or used for any 

 otlier purpose but for the ])urchase, test- 

 ing, propagation, and distribution of 

 valuable seeds, bulbs, mulberry and 

 other rare and valuable trees, shrubs, 

 vines, cuttings, and plants."
