WANT DUTIES UNCHANGED. 



Representatives of the American As- 

 sociation of Nurserymen appeared be- 

 fore the House committee on ways and 

 means January 20 in the tariff hear- 

 ings and urged that the present duties 

 on nursery stock be retained in the law 

 to be enacted in the coming extra ses- 

 sion. 



Irving Rouse, of Rochester, N. Y., 

 chairman of the tariff committee of 

 the association, headed a delegation of 

 nurserymen at the hearing, but he was 

 the only speaker. Those accompanying 

 him were Wm. Pitkin, of Rochester; 

 J. H. Dayton, of Painesville; Thomas 

 B. Meehan, of Deckertown, Pa., and 

 Messrs. Moore and Flemmer, of New 

 Jersey. 



In his testimony before the commit- 

 tee Mr. Rouse said the association em- 

 braced practically the entire nursery 

 interest of tlie United States, and the 

 ornamental growers' association. He 

 said: 



"Previous to the Isftt tariff act we 

 had a mixed specific and ad valorem

duty, and at the request of this asso- 

 ciation Congress changed the law to a 

 straight specific duty on seedlings as 

 follows: Stocks, cuttings or seedlings 

 of Myrobolan plum, Mahaleb or Maz- 

 ^zard cherry, .3 years old or less, $1 per 

 thousand plants, and on apple, pear and 

 quince stocks, $2 per thousand. This 

 specific duty was what the nursery 

 trade was anxious to secure and what 

 we especially desire to have retained in 

 the pending bill. It is really of much 

 more importance than the rate of duty. 

 "We ask for a specific duty such as 

 we now have because these goods are 

 an annual crop like corn, or potatoes, 

 and are affected by the weather and 

 climatic conditions, and thus subject to 

 violent fluctuations in price. At least 

 eighty-five per cent of the crop is 

 bought from three to nine months in 

 advance of the actual delivery, as the 

 goods can only be shipped in winter,

when the growth is completed and the 

 plants dormant. Now the ten to fifteen 

 per cent of the crop unsold in Europe 

 at the beginning of the shipping sea- 

 son fixes the price, as far as the United 

 States appraisers' valuation for duty 

 is concerned, of the entire crop. If 

 the demand is heavy or the crop poor, 

 the price for this unsold balance is 

 higher than the eighty-five per cent of 

 the stock purchased early, and there, 

 is no way whereby the early buyer can 

 tell what the market is at the time of 

 shipment, and he is thus liable to fines 

 and penalties by reason of the fact thiat
