lector's assessment of duty at twenty- 

 five per cent ad valorem was confirmed. 

 The following was the finding of Gen- 

 eral Appraiser Waite: 



"No testimony has been introduced 

 in the case, so we are unable to say 

 from any evidence that this merchan- 

 dise is commonly known as nursery or 

 greenhouse stock. An inspection of the 

 sample and the record reveals the fact 

 that it is roots of the rhubarb or pie- 

 plant, imported for the purpose of prop- 

 agation and cultivation. It does not 

 fulfill the requirement of what we under- 

 stand to be bulbs or bulbous roots. We 

 think we are warranted under the cir- 

 cumstances of this case in being gov- 

 erned by the use to which such a com- 

 modity is generally put, to wit, propaga- 

 tion and cultivation, and that use, in 

 our judgment, would place it under the 

 provision for nursery or greenhouse 

 stock. ' ' 



DUTY ON HYAQNTHS. 



In the Review of February 24 refer- 

 ence was made to the fact that at Boston 

 J. Keur, of C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom, 

 Holland, and customers there, had raised 

 the question of classification of hyacinth 

 bulbs for duty under the new tariff act. 

 The protest was heard by the Board of 

 General Appraisers at New York May 4. 



The importers claimed that the bulbs 

 were dutiable under paragraph 263 of the 

 Payne-Aldrich tariff law as "all other 

 bulbs, bulbous roots or corms which are 

 cultivated for their flowers or foliage," 

 at 50 cents per thousand. The Govern- 

 ment claimed that the bulbs were subject 

 to duty under a provision of the same 

 paragraph which provides for "hyacinth, 

 astilbe, dielytra and lily of the valley 

 clumps," at $2.50 per thousand. 



The importers claimed that Congress, 

 in constructing the section of paragraph 

 263 providing for hyacinth, etc., at $2.50 

 per thousand, meant the word clumps to 

 pertain to hyacinths, astilbes and diely- 

 tras as well as to lilies of the valley. The 

 Government had a bulb grower from Hol- 

 land and numerous dealers testify that 

 no such thing as a hyacinth clump was 

 known to the trade or ever imported. 



The Government claimed that the 

 sprouted mother bulb, that is the large 

 bulb with smaller bulbs growing thereon 

 in places where cuts have been made, was 

 not an article of commerce and therefore 

 could not be what Congress meant, be- 

 cause they would not presumably pass a 

 law which provided for an article which 

 was not bought and sold. 



Prof. L. C. Corbett, of the Department 

 of Agriculture, testified that the Govern- 

 ment was conducting a station at Belling- 

 ham, Wash., for the purpose of raising 

 and propagating hyacinths, and in his 

 opinion the mother bulb was too delicate 

 and required too careful handling to be 

 imported. Both the Government and the 

 importers have handed in aU their testi- 

 mony and are awaiting the decision of 

 the Board.

 the Government and whose testimony was
