However, scientists who may only occasionally send material abroad often omit to take a few elementary precautions and consequently the material, which is likely to be extremely valuable, may be dead before it arrives. We claim no great experience in sending; but, at the receiving end, our experience extends from material arriving in perfect condition to plants that have liquified en route. Deductions made from these observations may be helpful.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionCommercializationVegetative propagationSeedCitrus
