 ratings, will be held January 10 to 13 at

 January 25 at Atlanta, Ga. The hear- 

 ings will cover the official southern and 

 western classifications. 



There are several changes suggested 

 by the carriers in regard to rates on 

 nursery and florists' stock other than 

 decorative greens. The rates, on the 

 whole, have a tendency to be increased 

 rather than lowered, according to the 

 data set forth in docket 9 of the con- 

 solidated classification committee hear- 

 ings. 



Under the heading, "Dormant: 

 Plants, shrubs, trees or vines," there is 

 added this category, "roots in tubs or 

 boxes, tops protected with crating," the 

 rate on which is to be double first-class 

 rate. Under the same head is suggested 

 an alteration of the wording, from "In 

 bundles completely wrapped, L. C. L., " 

 to "In bales or bundles completely 

 wrapped, L. C L." Under the same 

 heading, the rate on stock in crates, 

 L. C. L., is raised from 1% to 2, official. 



Under the heading, "Not dormant: 

 Plants or vines, N. O. I. B. N," for the 

 words, "Rooted in tubs or boxes with- 

 out covers, tops protected," the words, 

 ' ' Roots in tubs or boxes, tops protected 

 with crating," are substituted. The 

 rates remain the same. Under shrubs, 

 for the words, ' ' Rooted in tubs or boxes 

 without covers, tops protected, L. C. 

 L.," are substituted the words, "Roots 

 in tubs or boxes, tops protected with 

 crating, L. C. L."; for the words, "In 

 bundles, roots boxed or wrapped, L. C. 

 L.," are substituted the words, "In 

 bundles completely wrapped, L. C. L,"
