YELLOV TREFOIL DUTY FBEE. 



On September 5 the Board of General 

 Appraisers sustained the protest of Benj. 

 Dusenbury against the assessment of duty 

 on yellow trefoil seed at the port of New 

 York. The merchandise waa described 

 as consisting of the seed of the yellow 

 trefoil or black medic (Medicago lupu- 

 lina), which was classified under the pro- 

 vision in paragraph 254, tariff act of 

 1897, for seeds not specially provided 

 for, and was claimed to be free of duty 

 under paragraph 656 as grass seed. In 

 writing the decision General Appraiser 

 Waite said: 



"It is invoiced as clover seed, which 

 the board has hitherto classed as grass 

 seed for tariff purposes, G. A. 2442 (T. 

 D. 14720). "While Medicago lupulina 

 probably is not clover in a botanical 

 sense, which would seem to include only 

 plants of the genus trifolium, it has 

 the appearance of clover, is closely allied 

 to that plant, and is classified as a 

 clover in the catalogues of seed dealers 

 if not in common speech. But whether to 

 be regarded as clover or not, the plant 

 in question is shown by the evidence to 

 be a forage plant such as would fall in 

 the category of the so-called 'artificial 

 grasses,' and is, therefore, entitled to 

 free entry under paragraph 656 in ac- 

 cordance with the principle applied in 

 board decision In re Willett Drug Com- 

 pany, G. A. 6350 (T. D. 27306)."
