English rose-growers recently .received from a Dutch firm,' describing itself as the "largest eulturer &£ roses in Holland," a copy of the linn's 'autumn catalogue! Tho post-mark show's that it has been despatched from. Vienna.! Dutch -firms havo frequently, since the war, posted circulars to Britain, in Germany, so. as to get the benefit of the exchange. But while there are German post ofGees just over the Dutch border, Vienna is nearly COO miles, as th'c crow flies, from ;Amsterdam,, and about 760 from London. * Thus, to reach London from their Dutch place of origin—a distance in. a straight line of'some 220 miles —these-catalogues have had .to travel well over 1300 miles. But the postage from - Vienna .is • only' 1200 kronen, which, formidable as it looks, is, at tho present rate, of exchange, less than seven-eighths of a penny.
