sistent with the distance they must travel. We assume 
no responsibility for the safe arrival of the plants 
after they have been accepted by the carrier and 
found to be in good order. 
INSPECTION. Points of terminal inspection in sev- 
eral counties have been reduced in numbers, which 
may cause some delays in the deliveries of ship- 
ments. If the nearest point of inspection is mentioned 
in ordering we will gladly make shipment in care of 
your agricultural inspector with instructions to re- 
forward after inspection. This will greatly expedite 
delivery.
