THERE you will find all kinds, and 

 yuu can take your pick from the best 

 that grow. Perennials add a feeling of 

 pennanencv tu y< ur home surroundings. 

 They cluftige their plumage, but not their 

 face, and keep reflecting the seasons all 

 the year a'ound. 



PALL PLANTINQ-To grow most hardy 

 perennials and old - fashioned flowers 

 successfully, plant in October and No- 

 vember. like planting Spring- flowering 

 bulbs. They then root duiing Fall and 

 Winter, and are ready for Spriug and 

 Summer blooming. 



No grounds are really gardened without 

 a big showing in perennials. We arc 

 beadquartera for perenniala. and assure 

 the widest latitude in choice as well as 

 the most courteous promptitude in cor- 

 respondence and service. Our motto - 

 "Maximum Quality at Minimum Coat."

ported in The Review for November 

 19, will be read with interest by the 

 trade, though it deals more with the im- 

 porter than the goods imported. P. Ou- 

 werkerk imported 165 cases of plants 

 and shrubs, nineteen of which were in- 

 voiced as Rhododendron Ponticum. The 

 latter were assessed for duty at the 

 port of New York under the tariff act 

 of 1909 at twenty-five per cent ad val- 

 orem as nursery stock. The importer 

 claimed that they should have been 

 admitted free as evergreen seedlings 

 and appealed from the decision of the 

 customs collector to the judgment of 

 the United States Board of Appraisers, 

 which announced its decision in an 

 opinion by General Appraiser Waite, 

 as follows: 



"No testimony was taken, either 

 upon the part of the importer or tbe 

 government, and now the importer asks 

 in his brief that a finding be made in 

 his favor as to a certain percentage of 

 these goods, on the report of tbe ap- 

 praiser, which was to the effect that 

 between sixty and seventy per cent of 

 the goods were produced by grafting, 

 from which the importer assumes that 

 thirty per cent were not grafted, and 

 hence would be seedlings and therefore 

 free. 



"We think there is no question that 

 a separation of goods may be made so 

 as to make each variety bear the rate 

 of duty provided by the statute. We 

 are not disposed, however, to make a 

 finding upon the report of the appraiser 

 in this case. In the first place, he ex- 

 amined only one bale out of the nine- 

 teen; he does not appear to have re- 

 ported the amount of grafted stock for 

 the purpose of having it accepted as a 

 basis for the separation of the goods, 

 but merely to justifv his action in as- 

 sessing the importation as an entirety,

assuming evidently that where goods 

 of different kinds are mingled on entry, 

 he bad a right to assess all at the high- 

 est rate applicable to any of them. 

 Hence we are not disposed to accept 

 this report in the place of proof which 

 should have been furnished by the im- 

 porter. In other words, the presumption 

 prevails that the finding of the collector 

 IS right. There is nothing in the case, 

 in oui» judgment, to overcome that pre- 

 sumption. The importer makes the 

 claim in his protest that all the goods 

 are free, and then without a struggle 

 expresses himself willing to accept free 

 entry upon thirty per cent of them. If 

 he expected a favorable finding in this

 his good faith and furnished some proof 

 to justify his action in entering all these
