The Florists^ Review 



Septembek r», 1912. 



garden seed there are but six. In this 

 protest now before us we are informed 

 that the seed, in question conforms in 

 its structure to the description given 

 in the above case covering wild seed, 

 but upon investigation we observe that 

 it differs in that in this case the witness 

 states the wild seed has but four ducts, 

 hence there seems to be some confusion 

 among the doctors. We are not satis- 

 fied, however, that the testimony in this 

 case overturns the rule heretofore fol- 

 lowed by the board and the court. We 

 are not impressed with the probative 

 force of the statements made by the 

 witness Ross or the thoroughness of his 

 investigations. There may be other ways 

 of determining whether an importation 

 is wild or garden celery seed, but in this 

 case resort is had to the structural dif- 

 ferences. We think the importers have 

 failed by the method adopted in show- 

 ing that the commodity is wild seed. 

 The protest is therefore overruled."
