New Low Express Rates 
For years flower bulbs and roots have been 
carried by the Railway Express Agency at sec- 
ond class rates. 
That was fine. But NOW even that special 
lower rate has been reduced still more. 
Seems too good to be true, but is true. With 
reservations. As I understand it, this new 
rate, known as Commodity Rate, applies to 
all states east of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, 
New Mexico, plus a narrow strip along east 
side of New Mexico, extending as far west as 
Roswell. 
I’m talking about shipments from Boulder, 
Colorado, but understand these rates apply on 
shipments in any part of the U. S. A. east of 
states named. 
Just why the new low rates apply to the 
east and not to west of Boulder, I do not know. 
Maybe because it is a down hill pull from 
Boulder east, whereas, going west it is an up 
hill pull over the Rockies. (Of course my 
theory won’t hold water, but sounds a bit logi- 
cal, anyway.) 
As you know, parcel post renders wonderful 
service and at reasonable rates. Is especially 
helpful within the first few zones, and for light 
packages in any zone. Parcel post rates are 
the same for all or nearly all, classes of goods, 
for packages over 8 ounces, as I understand it.

But we flower folks are highly favored in 
that we get special low rates on our line of 
goods, when shipping by express. 
By all means, be SURE to name your EX- 
PRESS OFFICE if it is different from your 
postoffice address. 
If shipment is prepaid basis, we can afford 
to fill your order more liberally if we ship by 
express. ; 
If you order on F. O. B. basis, and YOU pay 
the carrying charges, you just naturally want 
to save about a third (on the average) of 
delivery costs. 
Express shipments are automatically 
sured, at no extra cost up to $50.00. 
Now don’t forget—give us your express 
office. We will figure out best way to ship. 
The saving is noticed especially on packages 
weighing 5 pounds or more.

Colorado Sales Tax should be added to 
each order sent me by Colorado folks. No 
tax required from other states. Verily, as 
the Denver Post says, “It’s a privilege to 
live in Colorado!”
