The Florists^ Review 



June 17, 1915. 



operations should begin. Early this 

 spring, therefore, the nurseryman held 

 a bargain sale of stock and advertised 

 the fact in the local newspapers, a me- 

 dium that he had seldom used before in 

 disposing of his stock. He made the 

 sale in truth as in name a bargain sale, 

 and the prices quoted for the various 

 trees and shrubs drew crowds of the 

 residents of the city to the nursery. 

 Many of them who came said they had 

 not known of the existence of the nurs- 

 ery before they read the advertisements 

 in the papers. 



Not only did crowds of people come 

 to see the bargains in nursery stock, 

 but they bought freely and carried 

 away their purchases. A large quantity 

 of stock which might not have been 

 moved within the year allotted to the 

 nurseryman to clear the stock from the 

 land was disposed of for cash and with 

 the miniVnum of work. The proprietor 

 is planning for one more sale this fall, 

 and expects to clean out most of the 

 stock remaining on the section. 



Such a sale might not always be good 

 policy, but in this instance, at least, 

 it has been exceedingly profitable. The 

 genuine bargain prices meant many 

 quick sales. R. B. M, 



McHUTCHISON WINS PROTEST. 



A decision on the rate of duty on 

 funkia, imported at New York by Mc- 

 Hutehison & Co., New York, has been 

 made by the Board of General Customs 

 Appraisers. The product was assessed 

 by the collector of customs as nursery 

 stock, under paragraph 211 of the 

 tariff act. The importer claimed the 

 article to be dutiable under paragraph 

 210, "all other bulbs, roots, root stocks, 

 corms and tubers, which are cultivated 

 for their flowers or foliage, 50 cents 

 per thousand. ' ' The board sustains the 

 protests of the importer in the follow- 

 ing opinion: 



It will be noticed that paragrapli 211 proTldes 

 for such growths as stocks. cuttlnRS and seed- 

 lings of plum, cherry and briar rose, of apple, 

 quince and plum: and also numerous stocks, cut- 

 tings and seedlings of fruit and ornamental 

 trees. It also provides for deciduous and ever- 

 green shrubs and vines and all trees, plants and 

 vines commonly known as nursery or greenhouse 

 stock. It Is under this last provision that the 

 collector has classified the goods here in ques- 

 tion. It will be noticed that the classes of 

 goods provided for in this paragraph are such as 

 have a woody, persistent growth above the 

 ground. We do not think It was Intended to in- 

 clude under this paragraph such plants as the 

 ordinary annuals or perennials grown for their 

 flowers • or foliage. Paragraph 210, It will be 

 seen, more especially provides for this class of 

 plants. We find that paragraph 210 provides for 

 all kinds of bulbs, herbaceous peony, Iris, canna, 

 dahlia, all of which are perennials. The growth 

 above ground dies down in the winter. It Is 

 very unlike the growth of the shrubs and trees 

 provided for under paragraph 211. Paragraph 

 210 finally provides for all bulbs, roots, root 

 stocks, corms and tubers which are cultivated 

 for their flowers or foliage. It Is under this pro- 

 vision that the Importer makes his claim. The 

 testimony of the witness In the case, as well as 

 the return of the appraiser, tends to show that 

 these plants are specifically provided for In par- 

 agraph 210. 



The law has been, in onr Judgment, materially 

 changed since the law of 1908, under which the 

 decision referred to by the government, abstract 

 31900 (T. I). 3^32r,) was made.
