TARIFF ON FRENCH CRAB SEED 
Editor National Nurseryman, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
Dear Sir: 
It does not seem to be generally known that a little 
“snake” crept into the new tariff law and slipped through 
apparently without the notice of anyone. It appears in the 
seed schedule and particularly affects French Crab and other 
Fruit seeds. The old duty was thirty per cent ad valorum. 
The new duty is ten cents per pound, making the increase 
duty over what was paid before equal to about $2.00 per 
bushel. On high priced seed, where they are bought and 
sold by the pound, it would make the duty a little less than 
before,but on bulky seeds such as French Crab, Cherry, and 
Plum the increase will average about $2.00 per bushel.

HITI NURSERIES 
BOSTON, MASS. AND POMFRET CENTER, CONN. 
The name “Hiti” signifies high elevation, which gives a 
longer season, and freedom from early frost and injury to 
late growth. For many years the owner, James H. Bow- 
ditch, has been in close touch with the leading nurserymen 
in this country and Europe. He is eminently able there¬ 
fore, to make purchases along any special lines beyond the 
stock furnished by his own nursery. 
The nursery proper, on Dana Road, is about a mile by 
road from Pomfret Station on the New York, New Ha\en 
and Hartford Railroad. The grounds can be reached by 
walking a short distance from the station. The whole 
area embraces only about eight acres, on which is one small 
building used as a tool and packing house. The proprietor, 
Mr. Bowditch, can be reached at any time at 903 Tremont 
Building, Boston, Mass, or the manager, Mr. George M. 
awry, at Pomfret Centre, Conn. 
The specialties of the Hiti Nurseries are rare evergreens 
id hardy flowers. Here will be found the largest collet 
on of Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata brevifolia) m the 
>untry. Japan Maple, Boston seedlings, and a full line of 
-namentals is carried. Special prices are made the trade

ever seen. 
G. W. SHIELDS, Newtonville, O. 
Had some trees literally covered 
with scale from top to bottom, 
branches encrusted with it, so gave 
your spray a severe test. Those trees 
are today a mass of new growth and 
I cannot find a living scale on them.
