Seed Trade 



Garden Peas From New Zealand. 

 F. R. Cooper of Wellington, New 

 Zealand, who attended the seedmen's 

 convention in Chicago, is calling now 

 on the trade in the east on behalf of 

 his firm, offering garden peas for seed 

 purposes. He is very enthusiastic 

 about the outlook in his line in the 

 United States, where every seedsman 

 is admiring the fine samples he is 

 showing and no doubt New Zealand 

 may fill the wants caused by bad crops 

 In peas in the northern half of the 

 Globe. Mr. Cooper is in company of 

 two of his sisters and is combining 

 business with pleasure.

EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS. 



(COPY) 

 Board of United States General Appraisers. 

 New York, June 20, 1912. 

 In the matter of protests 52474-5443 — 

 539325-5706 of R. & J. Farquhar & Co., 

 against the assessment of duty by the col- 

 lector of customs of the Port of Boston. 

 Before Board 3. 

 Waite, General Appraiser. 

 It is claimed in these cases that mer- 

 chandise which was assessed as nursery 

 stock under paragraph 264, tariff act of 

 1909, should lie free of duty as evergreen 

 seedlings under paragraph 668. It seems 

 to be conceded on the part of the Govern- 

 ment (see report of appraisers) that the 

 goods in question are seedlings, but they 

 were assessed for duty as nursery stock, 

 for the reason they had been transplanted 

 Under the rule adopted bv the board in 

 iran-is' case, abstract 2S011 (T. D. 32346) 

 the fact of transplanting will not remove 

 evergreens gi-own from seed from clas-siti- 

 cation for tariff purposes as evergreen 

 seedlings under paragraph 668. Therefore, 

 as to such evergreens on the invoices as 

 are conceded b.v the Government to have 

 lieen produced from seed, we sustain the 

 claim that they are entitled to free entry 

 under paragraph (568, regardless of the fact 

 that they may have been transplanted. As 

 to such goods, the collector is instructed to 

 reliquidate, the protests being overruled in 

 all other respects.
