HEAD OF JAPANESE FIRM. 



The death of Seitaro Arai, reported 

 in this week's obituary column, leaves 

 his son, Inoski Arai, head of the famous 

 exporting house which his father 

 founded, at Yokohama, Japan. Large 

 exports of Lilium giganteum and other 

 bulbs are annually made by this house 

 to the United States. The younger 

 Arai has been manager of the business 

 for the last ten years and has been sig- 

 nally successful in building it to its 

 present large size. . The illustration on 

 this page shows Mr. Arai when he and 

 his father were visited by A. Miller, of 

 the American Bulb Co., Chicago, in 1019. 



FLAT RATE ON FLOWER SEEDS? 



The Senate finance committee has 

 been asked by Senator Townsend, of 

 Michigan, to increase from 4 cents to 

 10 cents per pound the rate on flower 

 seeds. The 4-cent rate was provided by 

 the House, but was stricken out by the 

 Senate finance committee prior to re- 

 porting the McCumber-Fordney tariff 

 bill to the Senate, leaving the rate on 

 flower seeds the catch-all rate of twenty 

 per cent ad valorem. Seedsmen all over 

 the country have been protesting 

 against an ad valorem duty, on the 

 gronnd that it would be extremely hard 



to administer. They have asked for the 

 imposition of a flat rate of 10 cents per 

 pound, claiming that the twenty per 

 cent rate will amount to an average of 

 11 cents per pound on the basis of im- 

 portations in previous years. 



In presenting the case to the Senate 

 finance committee, Senator Townsend 

 declared that the cheaper seeds are not 



imported into the United States. The 

 10 cents per pound duty would apply 

 only on expensive varieties and rare 

 seeds. The committee does not look 

 with favor upon so high a rate as 10 

 cents per pound, pointing out that if 

 seeds sold at 4 cents per pound the rate 

 would be prohibitive, and if sold at $4 

 per pound, 10 cents would not amount to
