to all incorporated towns. There was
some question as to constitutionality.

q bill came next. offered by Mr..
Throckmorton. adding flowers and
garden products to the farm products
allowed To be sold by the grower In
cities outside of market houses. Mr..

these markets and should be allowed
to require growers TO use them. Mr..
Throckmorton explained this was al
ready law. but a case had recently
arisen in Richmond where a doubt
was raised IL the law included flow
ers. Mr.. oliver offered an amendment
to make it include orchard products.
