its liiaimniilical coiistniclioii ;ir<i sinli 

 as to coiiilict with tlie spirit or context 

 of tlio paragraph, arc ahsiud, unjust, or 

 presumably not intended. Under the 

 earlier ])ara}^raph tulip bulbs fell within 

 the second clause; under tiie latt(!r they 

 are rel(>j,'ated to the sixth clause and jjay 

 one-half the duty fornKuly assessiMl 

 thereon and one-half the duty now as 

 eessed upon articles within the scicond 

 clause. Con}2;ress may well have thouj^ht 

 it a wise policy to chanjfe the classih- 

 cation of tulip bulbs in this manner ami 

 as to the wisdom of such policy wo liave 

 no power to inquire. The context of 

 the i)ara<jraph is adapted as well to tli(! 

 one as to the other construction, and it 

 is also consistent therewith to impose 

 u])on tulips the rat<( of duty that was 

 formerly assessed upon tulip bulbs. 



Congress Had a Purpose? 



"The whole issue and its determina- 

 tion may be summed up as follows: 

 (^onjjress has apparently deliberately 

 substituted 'tulips,' tlie noun, for 'tu- 

 liji, ' the adjective, is jjresumed to have 

 intended to do so, and no suflicient lejjal 

 reason exists to justify the court in 

 saying such was not the intent. No 

 strained construction should be indulged 

 unless clearly necessary to accomplish 

 the execution of a congressional pur- 

 pose, and where two constructions arc 

 equally probable that one should not 

 be adopted which results in the imposi- 

 tion of the higher t^ix. 



"In ]^,reck v. United States. 2 Ct. 

 Cust. Appeals 26 (T. I). ?>\~uiS), an 

 analogous question was considered, cases 

 were examined and, quoting from End- 

 lich on the Interpretation of the Stat- 

 utes, it was said, 'It is a well settled 

 rule of construction that tlic i^ram- 

 niatical sense must be adopted unless 

 there are within the statutes cog(Mit rea- 

 sons indicating a contrary intent upon 

 the part of the lawmaker's.'

Refunds Now in Order. 



The efTect of this derision by the 

 ''•ourt of last resort in such cases is to 

 fix the duty on tulip bulbs hereafter 

 Hiiported during the life of the law at 

 ^'n cents per thousand. 



A larg(> n\imber of pio(f-ts have been

TIMING LILIES AND HYACINTHS. 



What heat should we maintain at 

 night for a new crop of giganteum 

 lilies, after tliey have budiled and have 

 been jdaceil on the bench, to bring them 

 in for llaster? We have 10,'ii)0 hya- 

 cinths in })ots. How long will it take 

 them to flower from the time they are 

 taken out of the ground, widl rooted? 

 Wliat heat should be maintained at 

 night? (i. G.— S. C. 



In South Carolina, Liliurn giganteum 

 wanted for Easter should now be in a 

 night temperature of OU degrees. This 

 heat probably will bring tliem about 

 right, although much (b'jien.ls on tiie
