ERFURT CROP REPORT. 



In the days approaching the middle of 

 June, a glance over the great seed grow- 

 ing district of Germany of which Erfurt 

 is the center, shows most things back- 

 ward, Pansies are late in blooming. 

 Forget-me-nots look all right and the 

 single wallflowers are making a good 

 show. Planting is not yet finished. An- 

 nuals are coming through strongly. Per- 

 ennials are behind time, but aquilegias, 

 campanulas and others are doing their 

 best to brighten up the long stretches 

 of gray soil. The increased demand for 

 seed of perennials is quite a noteworthy 

 feature of the last few seasons. 



On the stages the winter stocks and 

 double wallflowers are looking well. In 

 the greenhouses cyclamen and primulas 

 are standing full of pods, while ciner^ 

 arias are just drooping and we are al- 

 ready beginning to collect seed. Cal- 

 ceolarias are still at their best and 

 the brush of the fertilizer is busy. 



Vegetables are looking well, though 

 radishes in some regions have lacked 

 suflScient moisture, in spite of the rains 

 which have broken the occasional hot 

 waves, mixed in with a cool spring. 



DUTY ON CYCAS STEMS. 



Henry & -Lee, New York, protested 

 at the duty assessed by the customs col- 

 lector on an importation of cycas stems. 

 The stems were assessed with duty under 

 paragraph 251, tariff act of 1897, and 

 claimed to be free of duty under para- 

 graph 548 (drugs), paragraph 552 (palm 

 leaf), 566 (crude fibrous vegetable sub- 

 stances), or paragraph 617 (crude vege- 

 table substances). 



The special report' of the appraiser 

 accompanying the protest stated that the 

 merchandise consisted of cycas stems. 

 He further states that "the plants them- 

 selves are imported in the shape of dor- 

 mant trunks or clumps, which are potted

fore each of the claims is overruled. Thus 

 it only remains* to determine whether the 

 collector 's classification under paragraph 

 251 was the correct one. It may be open 

 to question whether the cycas palm dried 

 off, with the leaves removed, is a palm 

 within the meaning of the language of 

 said paragraph 251 ; and we think it 

 unnecessary to decide that question, since 

 if it is not it is certainly greenhouse 

 stock not specially provided for, under 

 the provisions of paragraph 252 of said 

 act. dutiable at the same rate assessed
