nursery stock. The provision in the 

 bill as agreed on is as follows: 



"That seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, 

 scions and plants shall be embraced in 

 and carried as fourth class matter and 

 for the same rates of postage." 



As both branches of Congress have 

 passed the bill, it now is up to the Presi- 

 dent for signature. Although the appro- 

 priation bill is to meet the needs of the 

 postoffice department for the year be- 

 ginning July 1, 1914, a number of its 

 provisions are to take effect as soon as 

 the President signs, and the paragraph 

 relating to the rate of postage on seeds, 

 bulbs and plants is one of these.

FIRE LOSS AT ST. LOUIS. 



The fire which caused the loss of a 

 number of lives in the clubhouse at St. 

 Louis March 9 spread to the adjoin- 

 ing building, owned by the Central 

 Eeal Estate Co., occupied by the St. 

 Louis Seed Co. Insurance adjusters 

 the day following the fire estimated 

 the loss on the building as ten per cent, 

 but they placed the loss on the fixtures 

 of the St. Louis Seed Co. at twenty-five 

 per cent, and the loss on the seed stock 

 at seventy-five per cent, the loss being 

 largely by water, although the rear of 

 the building was badly glutted. The St. 

 Louis Seed Co. had $29,500 insurance on 

 the stock and $3,500 on the fixtures. 

 The landlord had $30,000 insurance on 

 the building and repairs already are 

 under way. 



FIRE LOSS AT NEW YORK. 



The seeds and horticultural sundries 

 store of William Elliott & Sons, New 

 York, was destroyed by fire Tuesday 

 afternoon, March 10. The firm occupies 

 the entire building at 42 Vesey street. 

 The fire started in the basement, either 

 from spontaneous combustion or crossed 

 electric wires and basements and store 

 were gutted. The loss will be large, but 

 is fairly well covered by insurance. 



The establishment of William Elliott 

 & Sons is one of the oldest in the seed 

 trade, having been founded sixty-nine 

 years ago. William Elliott died in 

 1897 and the business passed into the 

 hands of his sons, William J. and Car- 

 roll S., who had been associated with 

 the house since boyhood.

 act of 1913 mature mother flowering 

 bulbs imported for propagating pur- 

 poses were entitled to entry free of 

 duty, while those intended for flower- 

 ing, either in greenhouses or outdoors, 

 were subject to an import tax. It ap-
