industry has become sufficiently impor- 

 tant, so that our product, instead of 

 being classified as 'other bulbs,' they 

 should take their place with the tulip, 

 narcissus, begonia and lily bulbs and 

 be classified as 'gladiolus bultnJ. * Sec- 

 ond, that all gladiolus bulbs or bulblets, 

 hard or soft, measuring five-eighths of 

 an inch in diameter and under, should 

 be admitted duty free. Third, that all 

 gladiolus bulbs or corms measuring 

 above five-eighths of an inch in diam- 

 eter should be subject to a duty of 

 twenty-five per cent ad valorem." 



The following dialogue then ensued: 



Mr. Harrison. You advocate trans- 

 ferring them from the basket clause in 

 bulbs into that part of paragraph 263 

 which classifies the lily of the valley, 

 tulips and gloxinia bulbs f 



Mr. Cowee. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Harrison. The result would be 

 to raise the ad valorem equivalent 5.23 

 to 15.26, or practically tripling the 

 duty. 



Mr. Cowee. The duty as it is now 

 is 50 cents per thousand. The gladiolus 

 bulbs are classified as "all other bulbp 

 that are grown for their flowers, 50 

 cents per thousand." What we hold 

 is that they should be classified as 

 "gladiolus bulbs," and carry a duty 

 of twen&-5ve ^p^r cent ad valorem as 

 heretofore: •*> ' ^ 



Mr. Harrison. But at the present 

 time the ad valorem equivalent, the 

 duties they do pay, is only 5.23 per 

 cent, because they only import th«» big 

 ones?
