INVEIOHS AGAINST ZONE PLAN. 



Now that the proposition to advance 

 the postage rate on seed catalogues is 

 dead, as announced exclusively in last 

 week's issue of The Review, W. Atlee 

 Burpee has turned his battery against 

 the zone system of parcels post. He 

 favors a real parcels post, but prefers 

 none at all to one on the zone system. 

 When Mr. Burpee had gone over the 

 provisions of the postoffice appropria- 

 tion bill reported in the Senate July 23 

 he sent each member of the House post- 

 office committee the following tele- 

 gram : 



rernilt me iis chairman committee of tlie 

 American Seed Trade Association to express tlie 

 liope tliat your committee will reject absolutely 

 the Senate committee's recommendation of tlie 

 inUpiitouM Bourne hiii, which would retard for 

 years tlie establishment of a real parcels iwst. 

 Senator O'CJornian's Senate bill No. ;!.")5S really 

 provides for u Kenuine parcels post at the uni- 

 form rate of .S e»'Uts iM>r pound, the same rate 

 as now applicable to all third-class matter and 

 to seeds, bulbs and plants. Should l>ooks. seeds, 

 or plants Iw advam-ed or should this antiquated 

 zone system lie introduced it would be the most 

 iiniK)puiar postal leRislation that Congress has 

 ever enacted and would arouse protest from all 

 rlKht-mlndcd citizens who realize that the public 

 ratlier than the express companies should be 

 served by the postoHlee department. The pre- 

 paid expri-ss rate from the Atlantic to the Pacltlc 

 now is 8 cents per pound, one-third less than 

 S<>nator Bourne would have the postofflce charge. 

 IMease note thot this iniquitous Joker makes Ave 

 ounces of fourth -class matter cost 12 cents post- 

 age while live ounces of tlrst-class matter costs 

 but 10 cents. Does Senator Bourne want to hold 

 up the I'nlted, States jHistoftlce department to 

 the ridicule of the world? 



CONDITIONS IN HOLLAND. 



The autumn of 1911 was exceedingly 

 dry all over Holland, as a result of 

 which the planting of many crops for 

 1912 harvest could not be done at the 

 proper time and in many cases the 

 stock seed was not sown at all, or, when 

 sown, did not germinate. In other cases 

 the stand was poor, the plants badly 

 developed and not fit to run to seed. 

 The severe frosts in February, 1912, 

 made an end to many turnips, swedes, 

 parsley, kohlrabi, etc. In spite of all 

 this Sluis k Groot, of Enkhuizen, re- 

 port a good acreage and excellent pros- 

 pect for cauliflower, though other mem- 

 bers of the brassica family are likely to 

 give a small crop at the best. The beet 

 acreage is small, but the stand is prom- 

 ising, except of the turnip-rooted varie- 

 ties. The prospect for radish generally 

 is good. A large acreage of spinach 

 was sown, but a large part had to be 

 plowed up; on the remainder there is 

 luxuriant growth because of frequent 

 rains, but only a middling prospect for 

 seeds. Of parsnips only a small acreage 

 was planted, but the prospect is good.
