ready done or orcntod, l)ut upon problematical 

 business or business that lias not been made, it 

 seems to us to be an unfair measure. 



If this amendment can so be wonlcd as to 

 exclude cataloKues, we certainly have no ob- 

 jection to payiuK the postage upon the parcel 

 l)ost packages that are the results of the business 

 cieated i)y the catalogue. 



This clause apparently does not embrace the 

 catalogues because they are third-class matter, 

 and beyond eight ounces the.v are handled as 

 parcel post. If this new provision pulls them 

 down to four ounces, it will certainly work a 

 great hardsliip not only on the house tliat is- 

 sues catalogues, but also upon every line of 

 business that has to do with the making of the 

 catalogue: naniel.v, the i)rinting business, the 

 photo-engraving busint-ss. the ink business, the 

 paper business, the lithograph business and all 

 (if tlieir kindred industries, as well as the various 

 labor organizations that find their employment 

 in the Miannfacture of catalogues. 



I trust you can see the seriousness of this 

 proposed tax.

WINTER-FLOWERING SPENCER SWEET PEAS 



GERMANY ADMITS DUTCH BULBS 



Bearing; on the market for Dutch 

 bulbs, the following item oomes from 

 The Hague: "The German govern- 

 ment has agreed to j)ermit the import 

 of Dutch bulbs to a value of 1,500,000 

 marks ($300,000) on condition that 

 buyers shall make their remittances to 

 a German bank and that the sellers 

 shall not draw the cash until six months 

 after the raising of the state of siege 

 in Germany. The bulb-growing industry 

 is in an unenviable position, for an ab- 

 solute import prohibition has been put 

 in force by Great Britain and Austria, 

 two other good customers.
