CANADIAN CUSTOMS LAWS. 
NEW REGULATIONS. 
The Department of Customs in Canada has issued new regulations, 
the same to be enforced on and after October 1st, 1904. The special 
features are as follows:— 
All packages must have a distinguishing mark or number. That 
mark or number must appear, not only on the invoice but on the wav- 
biU. 
Two invoices, are now required by Customs instead of one as here¬ 
tofore. Invoices are required to be in a special form approved by the 
Department. 
The fair market value as sold, without cash discount, in the open 
market in the country of production, must be shown on each invoice 
as well as the selling price to the Canadian purchaser. The “price” 
and “value” of the goods in every case aforesaid are to be stated as in 
condition packed ready for shipment at the time when, and at the 
place whence the goods have been exported directly to Canada. 
New certificates are required on all Invoices. The old Form J stands 
repealed from October 1st, 1904, and Form M takes its place. 
The German Surtax Certificate is continued. 
When goods are consigned without sale by the Exporter prior to ship¬ 
ment, Declaration Form N takes the place of the Foreign Owners Dec¬ 
laration Form 6 . 
The Certificate formerly required under the Preferential Tariff re¬ 
mains in force, adding Form M when goods have been sold, Form N 
when goods are consigned. 
The Oath on the Entry Papers to which the importer, or his agent 
on his behalf has to subscribe, has also been changed. The principal 
• feature in Oath Form 1—taken when goods have been actually sold 
reads “ That no arrangement or understanding affecting the purchase 
price of the said goods has been, or will be made, or entered into between 
the said importer and the exporter, or by any one on behalf of either 
of them, other than as shown in the said invoices, either by way of 
discount, rebate, salary, compensation, or in any other manner what¬ 
soever.” 
The important changes in the Oath Form 2—-taken when goods have 
been consigned reads “ That none of the said goods have been sold by 
or on behalf of.the owner and importer prior to their im¬ 
portation into Canada 
Through Bills of Lading must accompany invoices of European 
shipments and they must show a designated Port in Canada, (as in 
bond to Niagara Falls, Canada). The words in bond to Canada wil 
not be accepted. 1

OVERFLOW FROM THE QUIZ COLUMN. 
AN UNKNOWN EUONYMOUS. 
Ed. National Nurseryman: 
I mail you some sample twigs and fruit taken from a 
Euonymus which I have growing in the nursery. You will 
note that the branches are winged the same as the variety 
alatus. The fruit is, however, a little different and the leaf 
is not the same as the variety that I am growing for alatus. 
There is a marked difference in the fruiting. The fruit upon 
the variety that I mail you is a delicate pink when ripened, 
and I am at a loss to know just what to call it. Can you 
identify the plant? Yours truly, 
Elizabeth, N. J., Sept. 14th, 1904. H. T. Jones. 
Ans. The specimens do not fit any of the published descriptions. 
They have been carefully examined by Mr. Coit, a graduate student in 
the Department of Horticulture of Cornell University, who makes the 
following report.— [Ed.] 
“The specimen of Euonymous submitted by Hiram T. Jones, of 
Elizabeth, N. J., has winged branches like E. alatus Maxim. The 
leaves also are alike except that they are a little more sharply serrate 
in E. Alatus. 
The fruit , however, is very different. It is not divided to the base 
as in E. alatus, but resembles very strongly the fruit of E. europaeus 
Linn. 
I can find no specimen or description of the plant, and therefore 
conclude that the plant is either a foreign production not generally in¬ 
troduced into the American trade, or else it is a chance hybrid between 
E. alatus and E. Europaeus.”
