Parcel Post Rates 



The parcel-post system does not make a lower rate on nursery 

 stock than regular merchandise rate; it is therefore prohibitive in 

 cost except for short distances. For instance, the rate in the 6th 

 zone is Sets, per pound, which is too high, unless one is remote from 

 express office, or wants only a small package. We can mail strawberry 

 plants in almost any quantity by making a number of different pack- 

 ages of the order, as follows: 



On 12 and 25 plants: add 6c for zones 1, 2, 3 and 4 and 8c for 

 zones 5, 6 and 7. Postage must be enclosed in your order in addition 

 to the price. 

 5, 14c; for zone 6 17c. 



On 50 plants: for zones 1, 2 and 3 add 8c; for zone 4, lie; for zone 



On 100 plants: for zones 1, 2 and 3, add 10c; for zone 4, 19c; for 

 zone 5, 25c; for zone 6, 33c. 



On 250 plants: for zones 1 and 2, add 14c; for zone 3, 24c. for 

 zone 4, 43c; for zone 5, 62c; for zone 6, 81c. 



On 500 plants: for zones 1 and 2, add 24c; for zone 3, 44c; for 

 zone 4, 83c; for zone 5, 81.22; for zone 6, 81.61. 



Dear Sirs New York, March 15, 1927.

 Thanks for your prompt service. Yours truly, 



Harry Adams.
