Airports and Plants

Hi Gang,

I've collected plants from all over the US, and shipped them home as
luggage. I just wrap everything up in newspaper and box it up. Usually, to
be safe, I double box everything so it doesn't fall apart.

If I have a few items I just carry them on, no problem. Carry on items go
through the machine just like everything else and seeds, cuttings, and bulbs
have done fine for me. I have heard that luggage items get a good does of
radiation, but this has not been a problem for plants, even tender tropicals
or seeds.

Of course, if I have more than an apple box-full of plants I ship them
FedEx, DHL, or the Post Office.

Cordially,

Joe
