associations shall be kept on view at every post-office. The
addressee shall be required to return portion of the coupon
to the post-office after the order has been executed, and shall
specify thereon the date of the despatch of the fruit and the
manner of its transmission.
5. The fruit must be delivered by the vendor at an officered
railway-station or at a wharf served by steamer having contract with the Railway Department. House-to-house delivery
of the fruit will be undertaken by the Railway Department
at places where the Railway Department has a cartage contract. At places where such delivery cannot be made, the
purchaser, when ordering, shall be required to state at what
railway-station or wharf he desires to take delivery.
6. The Post Office assumes no responsibility for failure to
execute orders, or for delays in the execution thereof, or with
reference to the quantity, quality, or condition of the supplies.
7. The coupon may also be used for ordering fruit, up to
11 lb. in weight, which is to be conveyed by ordinary parcel-post, provided that the fruit is packed in accordance with the
regulations for the time being in force relating to the carriage
of fruit by parcel-post.

COMBINED FREIGHT AND POSTAL SERVICE.
8. Parcels of fruit will be delivered by parcel-post, and the
regulations respecting liquid-tight packing will not be insisted
upon if the parcels are forwarded by fruitgrowers in the
following manner:-
Several packages of fruit for delivery from the same post-office may be packed in one crate or case, together with a
list showing particulars of the parcels enclosed, and consigned
to the Postmaster of the delivering office. The crates or
cases will be taken delivery of by the Postmaster at the railway-station or wharf. Each package must bear postage-
stamps to the full charge at parcel-post rates, must be fully
addressed, and must not exceed 11 lb. in weight. The total
gross weight of the crate or case must not exceed 56 lb., and
the total postage affixed to the enclosed parcels must amount
to at least 2s. 6d. When the fruit, after delivery to the receiving post-office, requires to be carried both by railway and
steamer, the owner shall, in addition to the postage afore-
said, be required to pay all charges for railage or steamer
freight, except the charge in respect of the last stage in the
course of transmission. If desired, empty crates or cases
will be returned by Postmasters, at the risk and expense of
owners.
