PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS ADDRESSED TO PLACES IN LOUISIANA 
Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Washington, July 22, 1932. 
The State of Louisiana has established a place for terminal inspection under 
the provisions of the act of March 4, 1913, embodied in section 468, Postal Laws 
and Regulations, of the following plants and plant products: 
"Corn on the cob, ears of corn, cornstalks, and other parts or debris of corn 
and broomcorn plants, and sorghums and Sudan grass; cut flowers or entire 
plants of chrysanthemum, aster, dahlia, and gladiolus, except gladiolus corms and 
dahlia tubers without stems; Lima beans in the pod, green shell beans in the pod 
(including varieties variously known as cranberry or horticultural shell beans 
but not including string or wax beans), beets with tops, and rhubarb." 
All postmasters are, therefore, informed that packages containing any plants 
or plant products addressed to places in the State of Louisiana may be accepted 
for mailing only when plainly marked so that the contents may be readily ascer- 
tained by an inspection of the outside thereof. The law makes the failure so to 
mark such parcels an offense punishable by a fine of not more than $100. 
Postmasters within the State of Louisiana shall be governed strictly by the 
provisions of paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6, section 468, Postal Laws and Regu- 
lations, in the treatment of all packages addressed for delivery at their offices 
containing any of the plants or plant products above described as subject to 
terminal inspection. 
Postmasters in the State of Louisiana are informed that this requirement for 
terminal inspection shall not apply to any plants or plant products listed above 
originating within the State of Louisiana. 
Inspection service is maintained at New Orleans only. 
Owing to the perishable character of plants and plant products, the packages 
containing such matter must be given prompt attention. 
Any failure of compliance w r ith the foregoing instructions or with the provisions 
of section 468, Postal Laws and Regulations, coming to the attention of any 
postmaster should be reported to the Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
Division of Classification. 
F. A. Tilton, 
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
