DUTY ON BROCCOLI SEED. 



Broccoli seed is not duty free. The 

 Portland Seed Co. protested against the 

 assessment of duty by the collector of 

 customs at the port of Portland, Ore., 

 objecting to the classification of broccoli 

 seed under paragraph 254, tariff act of 

 1897, as seeds not specially provided for, 

 contending that it was free of duty under 

 paragraph 656, as cauliflower seed. Un- 

 der date of December 3 General Ap- 

 oraiser Waite ruled as follows :

New Close-Clinging Hardy Climber 



AMPELOPSIS LOWII 



This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampelopsls Yeitchli. 



The older leaves in summer are of a dark metallic green, brightening to a fresh apple 

 green toward the extremities, and changing with the season to a warm tint in autumn. 



In sise the leaves are small, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped, 

 give a very pleasing etiect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over 

 a pillar, column or an old tree stump. 



This charming novelty clings closely and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily coven 

 although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance. 



Hard plants for Autumn delivery, in pots $15.00 doz. 



Toung plants for Spring delivery 7.50 doz.
