Excerpt from Henderson's Wholesale Catalogue for Florists and Market Gardeners: Autumn 1915, Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Tools, Requisites, Fertilizers, Insecticides, Books Seeds, Plants Bulbs and Roots are now admitted to the Parcel Post at Zone rates. As there are eight Zones in the United States, with varying rates. The difficulty of naming in advance a delivered price by mail on heavy Seeds such as Peas, Beans and Corn is apparent, also on Plants. Roots and heavy Bulbs. The express companies adopted a new set of rates giving a reduction on Seeds, Plants, Bulbs. Roots and Fertilizers so that it is desirable to use the ex press when possible. For the guidance of our customers we append a table of a few of the leading cities showing the Zones, Parcel Post r'ates, uninsured, for 20 lbs 'the limit of weight beyond the 2d Zone, and the express rate for the same weight. As a receipt is obtained for each shipment by express it is prae tical insurance without extra cost, the insurance by Parcel Post being 50. Per package extra. On shipments weighing more than 20 lbs. The difference in cost is greater in favor of express. The charge is the same collect or prepaid. The express companies collect carrying charges without extra cost. The collection of postage by Parcel Post entails additional cost, so we recommend the use of the express wherever possible.
