The Florists^ Review 



September 4, 1913. 



1, and with that end in view L. W. 

 Wheeler was here today making final 

 arrangements. He has signed up a lease 

 for several hundred acres of the Julius 

 Martin ranch adjoining the city limits. 

 This industry will give employment to 

 quite a number of people in the fields 

 during the greater portion of the year, 

 and the managers and their families will 

 be added to the social and business life 

 of the city."

POSTAGE ON SEEDS AND PLANTS. 



[The Review will be pleased to print letters 

 on the subject of the trade and the parcel post, 

 but wishes It understood that it does not thereby 

 endorse the opinions or views of its correspond- 

 ents.] 



We have done a good deal of study- 

 ing on the subject of postage on seeds, 

 plants and bulbs, which were left at 

 the old rate of 1 cent for each two 

 ounces when the new parcel post law 

 was adopted, and believe that we have 

 arrived at a solution of the question 

 and wish that you would give space to 

 our idea and urge its adoption in The 

 Review. 



We believe that all seedsmen, florists 

 and handlers of plants and bulbs ought
