DUTY ON ROSES. 



Before the U. S. General Appraisers 

 at New York, February 25, 1S99. 



In the matter of the protest, 31515f-12S9, ot 

 Alex. Murphy & Co., against the decision ot 

 the collector of customs at New York, N. Y.. 

 as to the rate and amount of duties chargea- 

 ble on certain merchandise, imported per 

 Britannic, and entered January IS, 1S9S. 

 OPINION BY WILKINSON. GENERAL AP- 

 PRAISER. 



The merchandise consists of two 

 paclcages containing 5,000 manetti 

 stock and 1,000 polyantha stock, all 

 valued at about 70 cents a hundred. 

 The manettis were assessed for duty 

 at 25 per cent ad valorem and the 

 polyanthas at 21/0 cents each under 

 paragraph 252, act of July, 1S97. It is 

 claimed that the polyantha are du- 

 tiable as multillora roses at 25 per 

 cent under the same paragraph. 



The pertinent provisions of para- 

 graph 252 read: 



• • • Rose plants, budded, grafted, or 

 grown on their own roots, two and one-half 

 cents each: stocks, cuttings and seedlings of 

 all fruit and ornamental trees, deciduous and 

 evergreen, shrubs and vines, manetti, multi- 

 flora, and briar rose, and all trees, shrubs, 

 plants and vines, commonly known as nur- 

 sery or greenhouse stock, not specially pro- 

 vided for in this act, twenty-five per centum 

 ad valorem. 



Polyantha is the Greek synonym for 

 the Latin multifiora. It appears from 

 the testimony that the terms are some- 

 what indiscriminately used among 

 florists. One witness testified that he 

 imported certain polyanthas at a cost 

 of 50 cents each, but that he would re- 

 gard the importation in question as a 

 variety of multifiora stock. 



We find upon the evidence that the 

 roses in question are not roses grown 

 on their own roots, but stock for graft- 

 ing, and that they are multillora roses. 

 The protest is sustained accordingly. 



FIRE INSURANCE. 



The Florists' Mutual Fire Insurance 

 lA-SSOciation has been organized a lit- 

 tle over a year, and during that time 

 it has paid four losses promptly, be- 

 sides liquidating all expenses of organ- 

 ization. The first assessment has been 

 levied and is only 50 per cent ot the 

 original cost ot insuring, or in other 

 words, the person who paid $10 upon 

 joining, has now an assessment of but 

 $5 to pay. This is certainly very cheap 

 insurance. Full details ot cost, etc., 

 may be had by addressing the secre- 

 tary, W. J. Vesey, Ft. Wayne, Ind.
