counsel for the American Seed Trade 

 Association, the Wholesale Grass Seed 

 Dealers' Association and the Wholesale 

 Seedsmen's League, should have some 

 credit for his conduct of the case, for 

 it was his ability, energy and insight 

 into the law that prepared the founda- 

 tion upon which an appeal was success- 

 fully made to the Court of Customs 

 Appeals at Washipgton. " 



DUTY ON ZEPHYBANTHES. 



Holding bulbs invoiced as Zephyr- 

 anthes rosea, dutiable under the pro- 

 vision in paragraph 263, tariff act of 

 1909, for * ' peony. Iris Kaempf eri or 

 Germanica, canna, dahlia and amaryllis 

 bulbs, $10 per thousand," the United 

 States Board of General Appraisers has 

 supported Collector Loeb, of the port 

 of New York, in the case brought 

 against him by L. D. Crossmond & Co., 

 acting on behalf of a client in the seed 

 trade. 



Zephyranthes is of the natural order 

 Amaryllidacees and in his opinion in 

 this case General Appraiser Waite sets 

 forth that "they are claimed by the 

 importers to be dutiable under the last 

 provision of the same paragraph for 

 'all other bulbs, bulbous roots or corms 

 which are cultivated for their flowers 

 or foliage, 50 cents per thousand. ' Ap- 

 parently the commodity in question has 

 heretofore been classified under the 

 head of amaryllis. If it can be ex- 

 cluded from that classification by the 

 testimony which has been offered, it 

 probably would be classified as the im- 

 porters contend, but we do not think 

 the testimony has shown that its exclu- 

 sion is suflSciently general and certain 

 to warrant us in overthrowing the prac- 

 tice heretofore existing as regards its 

 classification. The protest is, therefore, 

 overruled." 



It will be recalled that the same 

 Board of General Appraisers upheld the 

 collector at Boston in classifying hya- 

 cinth bulbs for duty at $2.50 per thou- 

 sand under the same paragraph of the 

 law, only to be reversed by the U. S. 

 Court of Customs Appeals. For a full 

 account of the hyacinth case see The 

 Review of May 4, page 52. The impor- 

 tations of Zephyranthes are, of course, 

 extremely small as compared to the 

 quantities of hyacinth bulbs and the
