lion of Paeonia arborea. The practice 

 at the port is to assess duty on peony 

 bulbs or clumps at $10 per thousand, 

 under paragraph 263 of the tariff act. 

 As this .peony is a hardy deciduous 

 shryb with a woody stem and different 

 in character from the PsBonia Sinensis 

 and other herbaceous varieties, the col- 

 lector suggested that the merchandise 

 was dutiable as nursery stock at twen- 

 ty-five per cent ad valorem under par- 

 agraph 264. 



The Treasury Department investi- 

 gated the matter and learned that 

 Pffionia Moutan, formerly known as 

 Pffionia arborea, is essentially a 

 shrubby perennial and should be classi- 

 fied as a deciduous shrub rather than 

 as a bulb, as it differs from the herba- 

 ceous peonies, including the species 

 known as Paeonia Sinensis and Paeonia 

 officinalis, which have bulbous roots and 

 annual tops. The department holds 

 that Paeonia arborea is dutiable as 

 nursery stock at twenty-five per cent 

 ad valorem, under paragraph 264, and 

 after April 13 duty will be assessed on 

 it as nursery stock at twenty-five per 

 cent.

tor of the Fairmont Nurseries, Fair- 

 mont, Minn, In the Morris Tribune of 

 August 2, 1912, the following appeared: 



It has Jnst come to my notice that agents have 

 recently soUdtecl orders for nursery stock In 

 your vicinity for a so-called Royal Nursery Co. 

 of Fairmont, Minnesota. 



As a matter of fact there is no nursery here 

 by that name and the parties who have given 

 orders to this concern should not only counter- 

 mand them and refuse to take them, but should 

 see that agents and principals in this concern 

 are apprehended and punished for soliciting or- 

 ders for an institution that does not exist. 



I have also been informed that at times these 

 parties have claimed they represented the Fair- 

 mont Nurseries, and I would be glad to hear 

 from anyone that has given orders with this 

 understanding, and to coSperate with them so 

 far as possible in bringing these parties to 

 justice. 



The orders will, no doubt, be filled with In- 

 ferior southern grown stock with a total disre- 

 gard to Tarleties sold. 



English Manetti Stocks
