Excerpt from Annual Catalogue of Choice and Select Flower and Vegetable Seeds, 1876: Embracing the Most Esteemed Varieties in Cultivation, Imported and Grown Expressly for Us The postage law authorizes the sending of bulbs, flower Roors, cuttings and seeds, at the rate of one cent for every ounce, packages not to exceed four pounds weight. It also authorizes the sending of various articles of merchandise upon the same terms. Under this law we are enabled to forward many other arti cles besides Seeds and Bulbs that are enumerated in our Catalogue by mail instead of express, by which a great saving can be effected to those of our patrons who reside at a distance. Articles exceeding four pounds in weight must be sent by express as heretofore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
