Postmasters will please correct their California list of terminal plant inspection 
places on pages 21 and 22 of the July, 1941, Postal Guide (Part I) and be governed 
accordingly. 
Attention is also invited to the instructions appearing in article 62 (b), page 20 
of the 1941 Postal Guide, Part I, particularly method No. 3, provided for the 
handling of parcels containing plants and plant products subject to terminal in- 
spection. This arrangement contemplates the mailer will have the parcels di- 
rected to the addressees in care of a plant inspector at a conveniently located in- 
spection point, where, after being examined and passed by the State plant in- 
spector, the parcels (if bearing the sender's pledge guaranteeing forwarding 
postage) will, after the address is changed, reenter the mails for onward dis- 
patch to the addressees, rated with the necessary postage due for forwarding. 
The correct manner of labeling such parcels, including the proper form of ad- 
dress and return card, is illustrated in the article of the Guide referred to. It 
is suggested that shippers be encouraged to adopt and follow this method 
whenever practicable in order to expedite and facilitate terminal inspection 
and to avoid reshipments after reaching the office of address.
