food, though none of the other varieties of 

 cowpeas are so employed. 



"If the testimony with regard to this 

 commodity ended here we should be 

 inclined, upon inspection of the sample, 

 to classify it as beans. It appears, how- 

 ever, from the record that it occupies a 

 sort of intermediate position between 

 the bean and the pea; and as we can not 

 conclude that this particular commodity 

 is well known by the common and uni- 

 versally accepted name of bean or pea, 

 we think it is a case where, for duty 

 purposes, we should rely upon commer- 

 cial designation, if there is one. The 

 testimony of three witnesses on the be- 

 half of the importers is found in the rec- 

 ord. They are men of integrity and good 

 standing, apparently, and have had long 

 experience in handling peas and beans — 

 one of them at least both here and in 

 the south, where, we learn, the com- 

 modity in question is extensively grown. 

 We think the testimony clearly shows 

 that they are known — and were at the 

 time of the passage of the act — in the 

 trade and commerce of this country as 

 peas, either cowpeas or black-eyed peas. 

 We do not think the evidence would war- 

 rant us in finding that they are seed 

 peas, as there appears to be just as 

 much proof that they are for table con- 

 ■sumption as that they are imported for 

 •seed purposes. 



"The protest is therefore sustained 

 and the collector's decision reversed." 



AN ENGLISH SEEDSMAN'S SHOW. 



John Wilson, seedsman at Hereford, 

 England, recently held his thirteenth an- 

 oual show under a lengthy expanse of 

 canvas, in Hereford produce market. The 

 main attraction was the open class for 

 Excelsior onions, which has constituted 

 the piece de resistance of all Mr, Wil- 

 son's shows. This year, considering the 

 ungenial summer we have gone through, 

 says a local paper, these onions were so 

 remarkable a display as to constitute a 

 •surprise. TTiirty-five grand lots were 

 put up, many from distant parts of Eng- 

 land, local growers of repute being also 

 well represented. All were alike credit- 

 able to the growers and to this renowned 

 variety. Tomatoes, a very attractive 

 •class, were much above the ordinary. 

 The variety known as Wilson's Market 

 Gardener secured three out of the four 

 prizes. This is a variety which is mak- 

 ing great headway, not only with exhib- 

 itors, but also with market gardeners. In 

 Guernsey, where tomatoes are grown on 

 & considerable scale, it has created a
