ing the goods subject to the buyer *» 

 order, and is limited to a claim for dam- 

 ages for breach of contract, is held by 

 the New Mexico Supreme court, in the 

 case of the Eoswell Nursery Co. vs. 

 Mielenz, 137 Pacific Eeporter 579, not 

 to apply to trees which have been spe- 

 cially prepared for the buyer and ate 

 practically useless in the seller's hands. 

 The court said: ''The plaintiff had 

 received an order for certain fruit 

 trees 1 and 2 years old and, before the- 

 desire of defendant to change or mod- 

 ify the order was received, had ordered 

 a part of the trees from another nurs- 

 eryman and had dug up other trees 

 from his own nursery, cutting them 

 back and putting them in the heeling^ 

 ground ready for shipment. It also ap- 

 pears that undisputed testimony to the 

 effect that inability to deliver the 

 trees would result in their total loss, 

 was introduced. Under such circum- 

 stances we do not think the genera) 

 principle should apply, but, on the other 

 hand, that the case falls more fairly 

 within the exception generally invoked 

 in the case of manufactured articles."

After writing to the postmaster gen- 

 eral regarding the extension of the par- 

 cel post rules so that they will apply to 

 "seeds, bulbs,- cuttings, scions, roota 

 and plants, ' ' we have had in reply from 

 the third assistant postmaster general a 

 letter which reads in part: 



"In answer to your letter of tho 

 second instant, which the postmaster 

 general has referred to me, I have to 

 inform you that the act of July 24, 

 1888, fixes the special rate of postage 

 of 1 cent for each two ounces or frac- 

 tion thereof on parcels of seeds, cut- 

 tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plantp, 

 and the parcel post law provides that it 

 shall not in any way affect such special 

 rate. It is understood that this provi- 

 sion was inserted in the parcel post law
