 The Mtb annual convention will be held at Ro-

Nurseries dealing in hardy phlox are 

 doing a good fall business on this item. 



In many cases nurserymen find the dry 

 season has retarded growth and stock 

 has not attained the size expected. 



The Illinois State Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold its fifty-third annual con- 

 vention at the Agricultural building, Uni- 

 versity of Illinois, at Champaign, Decem- 

 zer 8 to 18. An elaborate program has 

 been prepared, with many demonstrations 

 of nursery and greenhouse practice. 



The thirty-fourth annual meeting of 

 the Southwestern Iowa Horticultural So- 

 ciety is announced for Council Bluffs, 

 December 15 to 17. A number of west- 

 em nurserymen have places on the pro- 

 gram. There will be a large display of 

 fruit. The National Horticultural Con- 

 gress will be in session at Council Bluffs 

 December 14 to 19, and the National 

 Corn Exhibition, just across the river at 

 Omaha, December 9 to 19. 



DUTY ON NURSERY STOCaC. 



On a protest of P. Ouwerkerk, the fol- 

 lowing articles were held dutiable as 

 evergreen seedlings under paragraph 252, 

 tariff act of 1897, as claimed by the im- 

 porter: Aucuba Japonica, rhododendron, 

 and box tree. 



At the Boston port of entry an article 

 invoicei as Buxus arbor^scens and com- 

 monly known as boxwood, which was 

 classified as nursery stock under para- 

 graph 252, tariff act of 1897, was claimed 

 to be dutiable under the provision in the 

 same paragraph for evergreen seedlings. 

 Appraiser Waite gave the following opin- 

 ion in overruling the protest: 



' * That boxwood is an evergreen is con- 

 ceded, but the protestants have not sus- 

 tained their claim that these importa- 

 tions were seedlings. The government 

 has offered in evidence the testimony of 

 the examiner of nursery stock at the port 

 of New York, whose experience and ac- 

 quaintance with such merchandise covers 

 a period of forty years. He states that, 

 although it is possible to raise from the 

 seed such plants as imported, as a matter 

 of fact it is not done; that they are 

 started from cuttings, for the reason that 

 too long a time is required to germinate 

 from the seed. In the light of such 

 testimony and in the absence of any evi- 

 dence sustaining the importers ' claim, we 

 overrule the protest." 



Chas. D. Stone & Co., customs house 

 brokers, filed a protest relating to seed- 

 lings of white pine and blue spruce, 

 classified as evergreen seedlings under 

 paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897. The 

 importers claim that "both these vari- 

 eties of trees shed their foliage in the 

 winter time, and are therefore manifestly 

 not evergreen," but should be dutiable 

 as nursery or greenhouse stock at twenty- 

 five per cent ad valorem under the same 

 paragraph. Appraiser Waite said: "The 

 above quoted statement of the protes- 

 tants, upon which they base their claim, 

 would seem to have been made in error, 

 for the trees named are perhaps among
