or greenhouse stock. Protest was over- 

 ruled. General Appraiser Waite made 

 the statement: 



"The question involved in this case was 

 discussed by the Board in G. A. 6169 

 (the Ouwerkerk case), wherein the con- 

 clusion was reached that the provision 

 for evergreen seedlings in paragraph 252 

 is not restricted to plants of a conifer- 

 ous nature, but applies to seedlings of all 

 plants that are 'evergreen' — that is, which 

 retain their greenness or verdure through- 

 out the year, as distinguishec^ from those 

 which are deciduous, or which lose their 

 foliage every year. The above decision 

 has been affirmed » by the circuit court 

 (153 Fed. Rep., 916; T. D. 28183) and 

 by the circuit court of appeals (T. D. 

 28953). The holly, according to this dis- 

 tinction, belongs to the class of evergreen 

 plants, and it is so characterized by the 

 Standard aud Century dictionaries. 



"The importers also contend that the 

 word *^seedlings' applies only to plants 

 *in the seed bed, which have not been 

 transplanted,' and that the holly plants 

 in question are not properly classifiable 

 as seedlings, inasmuch as they have been 

 'transplanted from the seed bed and 

 grown on for two seasons.' It was held 

 by the Board in G. A. 5305 (T. D. 24305) 

 that the word 'seedling' applies to plants 

 grown from the seed, as distinguished 

 from those propagated by cuttings, bud- 

 ding, or grafting, irrespective of whether 

 or not they had been transplanted. No 

 appeal having ever been taken from this 

 ruling, it will govern in this case." 



INJURY FROM CARBOLINIUM. 



Will you please let me know whether 

 Carbolinium, sold by the Carbolinium Co., 

 of Milwaukee, is an injury to trees when 

 applied to the bark? A friend applied 

 it to sugar and Norway maples, ranging 

 in size from six to twelve inches in diam- 

 eter. It was applied last fall and about 

 ten died this spring and the balance are 

 dead in the trunks, the bark having 

 turned brown, and in some instances the 

 bark has loosened and cracked open, while 

 the leaves are green as yet. This com- 

 pany says it is to be applied to the live 

 trees as a tonic. W. E. N. 



yVhile I have never used Carbolinium 

 and do not know anything of its com- 

 position, I should imagine from what I 

 have Tead of it, that while it might be 

 useful in dressing cuts or wounds on 

 trees, the application of this, or any 

 similar substance, to the bark of trees 

 as a tonic could hardly fail to be in- 

 jurious. Common sense ought to teach 

 us that trees cannot be fed by any dress- 

 ing on the trunks. The roots are what 

 support the trees, and to benefit the lat- 

 ter we must feed the former. Perhaps 

 the Carbolinium company would be will- 

 ing to give their reasons for advocating 

 this preparation as a tree tonic.
