COURT DECISION IN CUSTOM 



HOUSE CASE. 



United States vs. Ouwerkerk. 



U. S. Cirruit Court of -Appeals, Second 

 Circuit. April 14. 1908. .\o. 12S (suit 

 413G.I. 

 Svei green Seedlings — Laurels — Rhodo- 

 dendrons — Nursery Stock. 



SjKcies of the laurel (Aucuba Ja- 

 ponica and Kalmia latiloliai and of 

 the rhododendion (Rhododendron 

 ponticunij, which retaih their ver- 

 dure throughout tlie year, are "ever- 

 greens" within the meaning of para- 

 graph 2C2, taiift act of 1)?97; and un- 

 der said paragraph seedlings of those 

 plants are dutiable as "evergreen 

 seedlings" rather tlian as nursery 

 stock." 

 Appeal from the circuit court of the 

 Unittd States for the southern dis- 

 trict of New York. 

 [Decision adverse to the Govern- 

 ment.] 



For decision below see 153 Federal 

 Reporter, 916 (T. D. 2S1S3), in which 

 the circuit court affirmed a_ decision 

 by the Board of United States General 

 Appraisers, G. A. 61C9 (T. D. 26772), 

 which had sustained protests by i*. 

 Ouwerkerk against the assessme.nt of 

 duty by the collector of customs at the 

 port of New York. 



The merchandise in dispute con- 

 sisted of three varieties of plants, de- 

 signated as iVucuba japonica or Japan- 

 ese laurel, Rhododendron pouticum, 

 and Kalmia latifolia or American laur- 

 el. The Lioard held these plants to be 

 dutiable under paragraph 152, tariff act 

 of l!^97. as "evergreen seedlings." The 

 Government contended that they had 

 been properly classified under the pro- 

 vision in the same paragraph for "uui'- 

 sery stock." 



The theory ot the Government's con- 

 tention is that the term "evergreen" is 

 restricted to such evergreen plants as 

 the conifers and box. The Board of 

 General Appraisers held, however — and 

 Its decisif)n was affirmed by the circuit 

 court without opinion — that the term 

 is not so restricted, but applies to 

 seedlings of all plants which retain 

 their greenness throughout the year, 

 and that it is sufficient if a plant fall 

 within the general class of evergreens, 

 irrespective of whether it is 'hardy iu 

 a paiticular locality or under different 

 climatic conditions. The plants in 

 (juestion, being shown to be "ever- 

 green" in this sense, were held to be 

 "evergreen seedlings," as above set 

 lorth.

 States attorney, for the United States.

 court affirmed.
