IMPORTS OF SEEDS. 



In framing up the new tariff law, the 

 first thing that the committees wanted 

 to know about seeds was what quantities 

 are imported and the amount of duty 

 paid. The Treasury Department supplied 

 the figures for the year ending June 30, 

 1907, as being the latest available, as fol- 

 lows: 



Total value of imports of all dutiable 

 seeds, $1,359,870.10; duty paid, $287,- 

 D05.42. 



Total value of imports paying thirty 

 per cent as "seeds not otherwise pro- 

 vided for," which include garden seeds, 

 $360,513.15; duty paid, $108,153.96. 



Total imports of non-dutiable seeds, 

 $5,048,938.35. 



It is of interest to note that of cauli- 

 flower, on which the tariff committee of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 recommended a duty of $1 per pound, 

 ?fiRr ^^^ imported in 1907 a total of 

 f l'^ pounds, having an invoice value 

 2a .^^^'283.95, or an average value of 

 $4.99 per pound.
