Thirty-Mcond ajmual convention, Wainlncton, 

 D. 0., June 28 to 25, 1914. 



The journeys of the Dutch bulb sales- 

 men are not along paths of roses — the 

 bulbs they sold last season are flowering 

 too poorly. 



Theee is a perfect deluge of bills to 

 put seeds into the parcel post. Febru- 

 ary 3 Senator Kenyon introduced an 

 amendment to the postoflSce appropria- 

 tion bill providing that fourth-class mail 

 matter shall embrace seeds, cuttings, 

 bulbs, roots, plants, etc. 



The postmaster general having de- 

 cided that legislation is necessary before 

 seeds, bulbs, plants, etc., can be in- 

 cluded in the parcel post, at least four 

 congressmen have risen to the occasion 

 and within the last few days have intro- 

 duced bills that will wipe out the present 

 law fixing the rate at 1 cent for each two 

 ounces regardless of distance.
