INSPECTION OF MAILED PLANTS. 



Florists, seedsmen .■tnd niirseiymcii 

 wlio send ]d;ints tlironyli tlie m.'iil lia\(' 

 donldless followed with interest the 

 steps tfiward earryinji o\it the jirox ision 

 :idded to the last a.iirieiiltni al aiipro 

 ]iriation loll for tlie fiirtlicr cnforec- 

 Jiient of the jdant (]narantini' art. Tlio 

 ;,rist of the jiiiAision w.as ;ii\('n in 'i'hc 

 i{e\ iew for M.artdi IS, tlio most ini|ior- 

 tant p.-iint titdiiLl that all jihiiit jiaeii- 



jigfes should lie marked with a. descrip- 

 tion of the contents. The matdiinery 

 for iarryin>,r out the enactment is ffiven 

 in the rules just ]iroinnl<^atod by the 

 J'ostoilice deiiaitment. 



According to these rey;iilatious, Avlion 

 a ]ia(dv;i^e of ]il:ints subject to terminal 

 ins])ection is received at the postollice 

 of a<ldress, or destination, tlie postmas- 

 ter sliiill ;tt once notify the addressee of 

 the amount of postage required to for- 

 Avard the packtigc to the place of in- 

 spection ami return. rj>ou receipt of 

 this amount, he shall allix suflicient 

 jiostajic to carry the ]»aci<a.ge to the 

 jilacf^ of ins|iection ami ;ittach an en- 

 \tdojie containing the postage for its 

 it'turn. The jmstmaster at the place 

 of insj)ectioii deli\'ers the paidcage to 

 the state :iiithorities for insjiection, and 

 if it is jiasstMl, atlixc^s the postage for 

 its return to the jiostollice of address, 

 where it is delivered to the adtlressee. 



If the ]iackage is found to be in- 

 ft^sted and inca]i.abli! of disinfection, 

 the jiostmaster at the place of inspec- 

 tion notifies the sender of that fact 

 and of the amount of postage requireil 

 for the return of the jdants. V]ion re- 

 ceipt of the ]iostage, the packtige will 

 be returned to the sender. ]f the post- 

 ago is not furnished within a certain 

 time, the jdants will be turned over to 

 the state authorities by the jiostmaster, 

 for destruction. The jiostage furnished 

 by the addressee for the return of the 

 liackago from the place of inspection 

 to the jiostoflice of address will, in 

 this case, be remitted to him, together 

 w ith a notification of the circunisttmces. 



If the addressee fails to furnish the 

 jiostage for sending the package to 

 the jilace of insi)ection and return, the 

 st.'ite ins]iector shall be notified. If 

 h(^ supidies sullicient ])ostage, the pa(d-;- 

 age will be tdrwarded for inspection 

 and retiiriied to th(> postofTice of ad- 

 dress. If neither the tiddressee nor 

 tlH> inspector will pay for sending the 

 jdirctd to the jdace of inspection and 

 ndiirning it to the postoflice of ad- 

 dress, the ji.'ickage will be treated by 

 Ihf jiiistmaster as is anv other iinde- 

 lixfr.'ible fourth (dass matter. 



From this it may be seen th;it the 

 buyer of pl.'ints bt>ars the expense of 

 iiis|)ecti(in. which is (jiily :i few cents 

 jiostagc. ! I' the plants |>ro\ c to be in- 

 fested, the sender jitiys for their re- 

 turn to him. but the buyer is out the 

 ainoiint he furnished for posta.ue from 



his postoflice to the place of inspection. 

 The question of delay and other doubt 

 ful issues which arise in the plants 

 man's mind will be settltMl, or per 

 hiips aggra\ ated, by the working out. 

 of this new sjiecii's of inspection. 



TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



It is amazing to see how lilooming 

 plants ;ire still finding sale after a 

 rush Faster week. Florists naturall.x 

 h:id :in idea the town was completel.v 

 sujijilied with potted jibints, after loads 

 of them hiid been sent out for Faster 

 gifts, but all through the week past 

 there has been a heavy dennind for 

 blooming plants. Large aKtileas, rhodo 

 dendrons ;ind Indrtmgetis have been 

 ill great demand, and llorists who had 

 stock left over th.at was not in condi- 

 tion for sale at Faster can dispose of 

 it now. 



The jirice of cut flowers has decreased 

 considertibly, and the demand is heavy, 

 especially for the hospittil trade. The 

 usual Fiister weddings have lieen oc- 

 cupying llorists, and severtil largo 

 church and liouse decorations, with 

 lilies and aztileas as the prevailing 

 flowers, hiive heljied consideralily to in- 

 crease the stiles for the month. 



Koses tiro lino, with the new crops 

 coming on. Among the better varieties 

 iire ^[rs. Russell, Kilbirney Hrillitint. 

 Olihelia, Richmond and Sunburst. I'rices 

 range on these from $G to $10 per lain 

 dred. Carnations are plentiful, but do 

 not keep well. They sell at ^l and $- 

 per hundred. Bulbous stoik is scaree. 

 lint growers will have another line crop 

 in a week or two. Violets, vtilley and 

 sweet ]ieas ;ire in prim(> condition. 

 There h;i\(' been some choice mignon- 

 ette, sntipilragons ;ind daisies in the 

 (low iitown w imlows. 



Various Notes. 



Considerable excitement reigned in 

 the store of Max Spanner Itist week, 

 when a pet tomcat went mad and be- 

 g;in to scurry around the store. Sev- 

 eral lad.v customers ran into the street, 

 and Miix began to ]i\ill his h.-iir out in 

 bunches when the vicious feline sjirting 

 into the icebox and stampeded over ;i 

 betiutiful dispbiy of orchitis, valley :ind 

 sweet peas. Mr. Spanner e-^timtites his 

 loss at :ibo\it $.jO. 



Harry Turve.v, formerly witii ^lax 

 Sp.'inner, litis started in business for 

 himself in ^Vcst Toledo ;ind reports that 

 his Ktistor business far surpassed his 

 ex[iect;itions. Mr. Turvey is ;i member 

 of the (dioir tif Trinity church, and 

 s;ing -ifveral selections each d;iy at the 

 noon-day services during Lent. Now 

 thtit these and the Faster flower rush 

 is over, lie says he can bretithe :i little 

 more easily. 



Sidiramm Bros, have boon quite busy 

 with several hirge wedding decorations. 



T. Afagee also reports several l;ugo 

 (lecoratioiis. 



Among the a isitors last we(d< -weie 

 ^fr. Mtirkson, of the Chas. Meyer Corji., 

 New York, and ^fr. Nelson, of the l{ae(l- 

 loin Basket Co., Cliicago. ('<. B. S. 



Flowers Supplied by Harris Bros., for Opening of a Pittsborgli Department Store. 



Williamsport, Pa. — Ground was 

 broken March ?>1 for the erection of 

 two greenhouses, each 2(lxlUU feet, on 

 North Michael street. The buildings 

 will be coniideted, it is expected, b.v 

 ^lay ], and will be occupied by the 

 Citv Floral Co^. a new concern.
