BRAZIL OFFERS BUSINESS. 



The U. S. Department of Commerce 

 announces that a company which con- 

 ducts an agricultural experiment sta- 

 tion in Brazil reports that it is expe- 

 riencing difficulty in securing seeds. It 

 desires to correspond with seedsmen 

 and nurserymen. A booklet containing 

 varieties of seeds used and prices paid, 

 etcu:^ay be examined at the Bureau of 

 Fojeign and Domestic Commerce, 

 through which correspondence on the 

 matter may be had in English. 



'TULIPS" ARE TULIP BULBS. 



Customs Appraisers Overrule Protests. 



Some months ago The Review re- 

 ported the efforts of certain importers 

 of tulip bulbs to secure a refund of 

 half the duty paid on them since the 

 present tariff act went into effect, Octo- 

 ber 3, 1913, and to establish the rate 

 under that act as 50 cents per thou- 

 sand, instead of $1, by means of a 

 protest heard before the Board of Gen- 

 eral Customs Appraisers. The Board 

 now announces its decision in one of 

 these cases, which will govern in the 

 others. It is ruled that the word 

 "tulips" as used in the tariff act is a 

 grammatical error, "tulip" having 

 been intended, and tliat it docs not 

 obscure the intent to tax bulbs of the 

 tulip at the higher rate. 



The decision is on the protest of 

 Maltus & Ware, of New York. In its 

 decision the Board says: 



"The merchandise involved in this 

 case is tulip bulbs, so invoiced, men- 

 tioned as tulip bulbs in the report of the 

 appraiser, characterized as tulip bulbs 

 in the protest, and conceded by all to 

 be tulip bulbs. They were assessed as 

 such under paragraph 210, tariff act 

 of 1913, at $1 per thousand. The im- 

 porters protest in the following lan- 

 guage: 



"'The reason for objection, under 

 the tariff aot of October 3, 1913, is as 

 follows: Said merchandise is not duti- 

 able as assessed. It is covered by, and 

 is dutiable under, the last clause of 

 paragraph 210 (as "other" bulbs, 

 roots, root stocks, corms, and tubers) 

 at only 50 cents per thousand. If not 

 as aforesaid it is covered by, and is 

 free of duty under, the proviso of said 

 paragraph 210.' 



"Paragraph 210 reads as follows: 

 'Orchards, palms, Azalea indica, and cut
