THE NEW TARIFF BILL. 



Ignores Recommendations by Trade. 



The net result of the efforts of the 

 three great trade bodies to sliape tariff 

 legislation is ' to get one insignificant 

 change. The new bill, as reported back 

 to congress by the Ways and Means com- 

 mittee March 19, is a distinct disappoint- 

 ment to all florists, seedsmen and nursery- 

 men. The only change from the present 

 law relates to stocks, cuttings or seedlings 

 of Myrobolan plum and Mahaleb or Maz- 

 zard cherry, which are put at $1 per 

 thousand, having formerly been 50 cents 

 per thousand and fifteen per centum ad 

 valorem. Mustard is dropped from the 

 free list of seeds and is made dutiable at 

 thirty per centum ad valorem. 



The old, objectionable ad valorem 

 duties are unchanged; there is not even 

 a change in phraseology of the Dingley 

 law, except the few words necessary to 

 cover the one change in rate noted above. 

 The recommendations of the legislative 

 committees of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, the American Association of 

 Nurserymen and the S. A. F., all of 

 which urged the adoption of specific 

 duties instead of ad valorem, arc abso- 

 lutely ignored. The paragraphs covering 

 horticultural imports are as follows: 



Section 1— Dutiable. 



24.5. Beans, 45 cents per bushel of 

 sixty pounds. 



258. Seed peas, 40 cents per bushel 

 of sixty pounds. 



259. Orchids, palms, dracsnas, cro- 

 tons and azaleas, tulips, hyacinths, nar- 

 cissi, jonquils, lilies, lilies of the valley, 

 and all other bulbs, bulbous roots, or 

 corms, which are cultivated for their 

 flowers or foliage, and natural flowers of 

 all kinds, preserved or fresh, suitable for 

 decorative purposes, twenty-five per cen- 

 tum ad valorem. 



260. Stocks, cuttings or seedlings of 

 Myrobolan plum, Mahaleb or Mazzard 

 cherry, three years old or less, $1 per 

 thousand plants (formerly 50 cents per 

 thousand and fifteen per centum ad va-
