THE POSTAGE PROBLEM. 



Hastings Beports Experience. 



One of the few mail-order seed houses 

 that issued a midsummer catalogue is 

 Hastings & Co., of Atlanta. Conse- 

 quently they have had three months' 

 experience of the parcel post system, 

 as it applies to catalogues and seeds, 

 at the time most seedsmen are won- 

 dering what they shall do and how 

 it will work. Mr. Hastings' view will 

 be of wide general interest. 



"Being one of the few seedsmen in 

 the United States who issue a regular 

 mail-order seed catalogue in midsum- 

 mer, we had to decide i)romptly the 

 problem of making postpaid prices for 

 seeds for this summer book," said 

 Mr. Hastings, "as it is mailed to our 

 customers about July 15. In making 

 postpaid prices in our summer book 

 we went absolutely on the same basis 

 that we have in the past, when the 

 old rate of the equivalent of 8 cents 

 per pound was in effect. This has 

 worked out in an entirely satisfactory 

 manner in our late summer and fall 

 trade and we have had absolutely no 

 complaint from customers as to the 

 question of any difference between the 

 rates now and which we have been 

 going under in the past. Further, we 

 made a bid in our catalogue inviting 

 those wishing to buy seeds in larger 

 quantities to send to ua for special 

 quotations, based on delivery by parcel
