ask for reductions except when the 

 increase exceeds 100 per cent of the 

 present tariff. Our recommendations 

 will increase rather than decrease the 

 revenue, but will not further unneces- 

 sarily depress business." 



The changes in the duties on bulk 

 recommended were as follows, the rate 

 being per thousand in each case: 



Present Fordney Rate 



tariff tariff asked 



Tulip $0..50 $4.00 $1.00(a$2.00 



Narcissus 1.00 4.00 3.00 



Valley pips.... 1.00 4.00 2.00 



Lily :.... 5.00 4.00 6.00 



The other items, including valley 

 clumps, hyacinth and crocus bulbs in 

 paragraph 751, were stated to be satis- 

 factory. 



The paragraph on nursery stock was 

 asked to be changed, solely for the pur- 

 pose of clearer understanding, the rates 

 proposed being satisfactory. 



In conclusion, a plea was made for 

 specific duties in every case possible, 

 since the American-value plan of ad 

 valorem duties was considered imprac- 

 ticable on horticultural commodities.
