that all seed supplies can now come 

 forward to New England points. It 

 must be recognized that the railroads 

 are operating under a heavy strain, for 

 reasons that are well known. The will- 

 ingness of the railroads to recognize 

 the seedsmen's contentions deserves 

 appreciation. Curtis Nye Smith. 



DUTY ON TXJUPS. 



The Treasury Department will not 

 accept the decision of the Court of 

 Customs Appeals, as published in The 

 Review for February 3, making the 

 rate of duty on tulip bulbs 50 cents 

 per thousand. This is the court of 

 last resort in such cases, but collectors 

 of custom's have been instructed to 

 continue the assessment of duty on 

 tulip bulbs at the rate of $1 per thou- 

 sand pending the results of new cases 

 to be passed on by the Board of United 

 States General Appraisers in New 

 York. These instructions are contained 

 in a letter addressed to the collectors 

 of customs, reading as follows: 



Treasury Department, 

 Washington, D. C. 

 I have to call your attention to the decision 

 of the United States Court of Customs Appeals 

 of January 28, 1916, T. D. 36146, In which 

 certain tulip bulbs, which have been assessed 

 with duty at the rate of fl per thousand under 

 the provision for "tulips" under paragraph 210 

 of the Tariff Act of 1813, were held by the 

 court to be dutiable at the rate of 50 centi 

 per thousand under the provision for "all other 

 bulbs" In the same paragraph. 



The Assistant Attorney General has advised 

 the Department that another case Is being pre- 

 pared before the Board of United States Gen- 

 eral Appraisers in which It Is expected to Intro- 

 duce further testimony on the question at Issue, 

 Pending the judicial determination of the ques- 

 tion you win continue to assess duty on tulip 

 bulbs at the rate of $1 per thousand under 

 paragraph 210 of the TarlfT Act of 1013. 

 Respectfully, 



Andrew J. Peters, 

 Assistant Secretary. 



It will, of course, be necessary to 

 carry the new case to the highest court, 

 a ruling of the Board of. General Ap- 

 praisers not being enough to overthrow 

 the decision in question. This indi- 

 cates that unless some legal means is 

 found by which importers can compel 

 the Treasury Department to be guided 

 by the court's decision, the imports for 

 1917 will be assessed at the same old 

 rate, as another decision scarcely is to 

 be expected before this year 's crop will 

 move. 0. L. (L.
