and was followed by an animated dis- 

 cussion of the effects of the new ar- 

 rangement. While many individual 

 embarrassments were pointed out, it 

 was the consensus of opinion that Mr. 

 Therkildson and his committee had ob- 

 tained the best that could reasonably 

 be expected. 



In opening the discussion Mr. Ther- 

 kildson said that the greatest difficulty 

 encountered under the parcel post is in 

 pricing catalogues, since the application 

 of the zone rates makes the cost of de- 

 livery differ widely as between near-by 

 and distant customers; also it makes it 

 impossible for seedsmen in different 

 cities to quote approximately the same 

 delivered prices for the whole country, 

 since no two houses, if located in .dif- 

 ferent cities, can figure on the same 

 basis. It was the consensus of opinion 

 that the trade requires the elimination 

 of the zones and resolutions to that ef- 

 fect were adopted. 



Papers and Discussions. 



The following papers were read dur- 

 ing the early part of the meeting:
