DUTY ON SWISS CHABD. 



On a i)rotest by Comstock, Ferre & 

 Co., Wethersfield, Conn., the board of 

 general appraisers has ruled that Swiss 

 elijird pays 4 cents per pound under the 

 present tariff law. An importation 

 through the port of Hartford was as- 

 sessed 10 cents per pound as seeds not 

 specially provided for, but was claimed 

 to be dutiable under the provision in 

 the same paragraph for beet seed. The 

 protest was sustained. 



HYACINTH CASE DECIDED. 



The United States general appraisers 

 have decided that "Hyacinth bulbs are 

 dutiable under the provision in para- 

 graph 263, tariff act of 1909, for 'hya- 

 cinth, astilbe, dielytra, and lily of the 

 valley clumps, at $2.50 per thousand,' 

 and not under the last provision in the 

 paragraph for 'all other bulbs, bulbous 

 roots or corms which are cultivated for 

 their flowers or foliage,' at 50 cents per 

 thousand." 



This, is in the matter of the protest 

 of Joseph Breck & Sons, Boston, which 

 has attracted much attention in the 

 trade. The protest was filed last sea- 

 son, when the 1909 shipments canre in 

 under the new tariflf law, and was first 

 reported in The Review for Feb- 

 ruary 24, as follows: "At Boston re- 

 cently Mr. Keur and customers there 

 raised the point at the custom house 

 that hyacinth bulbs should be admitted 

 at 50 cents per thousand under the 

 provision for bulbs not specified. The 

 contention was that the clause, 'Hya- 

 cinth, astilbe, dielytra, lily of the val-

ley clumps, $2.50 per thousand,' should 

 be interpreted literally; that is, as ap- 

 plying to hyacinth clumps, or, in other 

 words, to the mother bulb with the 

 clump of oflFsets. The contention may 

 get up to the board of general apprais- 

 ers, but it is doubtful if it can be made 

 to stick."
