"This restricts the carriage of such 

 products from foreign countries to 

 other means, such as express or freight. 

 Importations by these methods pas^ 

 through the customs office in the nor- 

 mal way and are under complete con- 

 trol. Postal sendings are entered under 

 an entirely different system and ne- 

 cessitate examination at any little post- 

 office throughout the United States. 



"It is possible to transmit many 

 injurious insects and plant diseases in 

 lots of plants or seeds sent through the 

 mails, and the inspection of such mail 

 sendings is an impossibility without a 

 vast army of inspectors. It was, fur- 

 ther, found necessary to make the re- 

 striction quite broad, much broader 

 than the original definition of nursery 

 stock, for the reason that foreign ship- 

 pers, and postmasters as well, were 

 •quite unable to make the distinction 

 between nursery stock and herbaceous 

 plants, etc., and the only safe course 

 was to exclude all plants from mail 

 sendings with the exception of the 

 seeds noted, which are deemed to carry 

 comparatively little danger of intro- 

 ducing insect pests or diseases."
