EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS. 



The customs officers and the import- 

 ers are constantly having trouble with 

 this paragraph of the customs act: 



(1) EJvergreen seedlings, $1 per thousand plants 

 and fifteen per centum ad Talorem; (2) stocks, 

 cuttings and seedlings of all fruit and orna- 

 mental trees, deciduous and evergreen, shrubs 

 and Tines, Manettl, multlflora, and briar rose, 

 and all trees, shrube, plants and vines, com- 

 monly known as nursery or greenhouse stock, 

 not specially provided for in this Act, twenty- 

 five per centum ad valorem. 



The collectors frequently misapply the 

 law, as in the case of an importation 

 of 1,000 Cedrus deodora by Howard & 

 Smith, of Los Angeles. There were 

 plants from two feet to two and one- 

 half feet high, propagated or raised from 

 the seed, and the collector held they 

 were dutiable as "seedlings of orna- 

 mental evergreen trees" or as "nursery 

 stock "at twenty-five per cent ad va- 

 lorem, while Howard & Smith held they 

 should be admitted as "evergreen seed- 

 lings" at $1 per thousand plants and 

 fifteen per cent ad valorem, as provided 

 for in the same paragraph. They filed 

 a protest, which the Board of General 

 Appraisers at New York upheld June 

 14, in the following opinion: 



"The testimony shows that the plants 

 in question are propagated or raised from 

 the seed of a forest cedar, native of 

 the Himalayas, botanically known as 

 Cedrus deodora, which is the Indian 

 deodar. Those in the importation are 

 from two feet to two and one-half feet 

 high, and have been transplanted. This 

 fact, however, does not remove them from 

 the class of seedlings. 



"In the opinion of the Board these 

 plants are not 'seedlings of ornamental 

 evergreen trees' unless all varieties of 

 pine and fir should be so classified. It 

 is matter of common knowledge that the 

 deodar is a forest tree, and while orna- 

 mental in the broad sense that applies 

 to many other forest trees, probably is 

 chiefly valuable for its timber. Unless 

 the earlier provision for 'evergreen 

 seedlings' in paragraph 252 covers such 

 plants, we fail to see what application 

 it can have. There is, moreover, doubt 

 in our mind, in view of the comprehen- 

 sive nature of the last provision in para- 

 graph 252 and the fact that it is quali- 

 fied by the words 'not specially provided

for,' whether the term seedlings in said 

 provision refers to the evergreen trees 

 therein provided for, as it would have 

 ample scope with reference to the va- 

 rious other trees, plants, etc., mentioned 

 in such provision. 



* ' The Board has also considered wheth- 

 er the last clause of section 7 of the act 

 might not be invoked. It provides: 



If two or more rates of duty shall be ap- 

 plicable to any Imported article, it shall pay 

 duty at the highest of such rates. 



Under this provision the rate of 

 twenty-five per cent ad valorem assessed 

 by the collector in this case would be 

 higher than the duty of $1 per thousand 

 plants and fifteen per cent ad valorem, 

 which the importers claim to be applica- 

 ble, inasmuch as the plants are valued
