TARIFF AKD LEGISLATION. 



Committee Meeting at New York. 



A meeting of the committee on turiff 

 and legislation was held at the admin- 

 istration offices of the Society of Amer- 

 ican Florists, 4.3 West Eighteenth street, 

 New York, Tuesday, December 7, at 

 10:30 a. m., at which were present: 

 Chairman Wm. F. Oude, Washington, 

 D. C; James McHutchison, New York; 

 F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y.; .1. 1). 

 Kisele, Rivcrton, N. J.; J. K. M. L. Far- 

 ((tiliar, Boston, Mass.; President A. li. 

 Miller and Secretary John Young. The 

 (piily absentees were L. II. Vaughan, 

 Cliicago, 111., and Wm. II. Siebrecht, Jr., 

 New York. 



The principal business of the meeting 

 was discussion and action on the follow- 

 ing letter to the secretary from the 

 United States tariff commission: 



The tariff commission is preparing surveys of 

 the nursery and greenhouse industries for the In- 

 formntion of (>)nKre88 in connection with tariff 

 leKisliitlon. Although much of the nursery and 

 greenliouse stock formerly imported is now shut 

 off by quarantines, considerable imports are still 

 being made under license and inspection. 



We shonld like to have your opinion as to the 

 tariff problem on these commodities, especially 

 the advantages and dis.TdTantages of domestic 

 and foreign producers, and of the usefulness of 

 the present import duties in establisliing a domes- 

 tic production of the Imported materials. We are 

 Informed that the present tariff law, which is 

 quoted below, contains a number of discrepancies. 

 If this accords with your view, we should b<^ glad 

 to have your suggestions as to changes. 



The tariff act of October 3, 1913, reads ns fol- 

 lows:

 dica and cut flowers, preserved or fresh, 25 per
