THE PARCEL POST ZONE OF EACH STATE 



Is printed on the envelope containing this catalogue, or your local post- 

 master will tell you what zone you live in reckoned from New York. In this 

 catalogue we have given the packed weight for Parcel Post of tools, accessories, 

 odorless fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides so that extra for postage must 

 be remitted according to Zone distances. In most instances the charge by 

 freight and express on weights exceeding 10 lbs. will be found more economical, 

 hence we only give weights up to 10 lbs. Note that Poisons and Fluids cannot
