April 29 reached postmasters in various 

 parts of the country. At the informa- 

 tion desk at the Chicago postoffice the 

 existence of such an order was denied 

 May 4, but May 5 the clerk was able to 

 produce it, there having been, as he 

 said, ' ' so many kicks we had to dig 

 it up." 

 The "new order reads as follows: 



Seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants 

 shall hereafter be embraced In and carried as 

 fourth class matter and for the same rates of 

 postage. Provided that all packages thereof 

 containing eight ounces or less shall be charged 

 for at the rate of 1 cent for two ounces or frac- 

 tion thereof. . . ^ 



The rate of postage on parcels of seeds, cut- 

 tings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants, weighing 

 eight ounces or less, Is 1 cent for each two ounces 

 or fraction thereof, regardless of distance; on 

 parcels weighing more than eight ounces the 

 pound rates shown in section 456 apply. These 

 rates apply whether the articles are for planting 

 or other purposes. 



FRENCH BULBS. 



Exporters at Ollioules who are looking 

 for the orders of planters instead of job- 

 bers quoted the following prices under 

 date of April 19: 



Romans, 11 to 12 cm $16.00 per 1000 



Romans, 11 to 13 cm 21.00 per 1000 



Romans, 12 to 13 cm 22.00 per 1000 



Romans. 12 to 15 cm 23.00 per 1000 



Paper Whites, 13 cm. and np 5.00 per 1000 



Paper Whites, 14 cm. and up 6.00 per 1000 



These prices are f.o.b. Ollioules and 

 indicate that the market must be in a 

 strong position. 



FBEE SEEDS IN SENATE. 



The action of the Senate committee 

 on agriculture in eliminating the con- 

 gressional free seed distribution from 

 the agricultural appropriation bill this 

 year will provoke debate in the Senate. 

 When the item was reached during the 

 consideration of the bill late last week 

 Senator Smoot, of Utah, asked that it 

 go over until all the undisputed and 

 small items were passed. This was done.
