"No testimony was given, the case 

 being submitted upon the record. It 

 will be noted that the provision under 

 which these bulbs were assessed is the 

 second clause of paragraph 210, which 

 reads, 'lily of the valley pips, tulips, 

 narcissus, begonia, and gloxinia bulbs, 

 $1 per thousand.' 



"The whole contention arises over 

 the meaning to be given to the word 

 'tulips,' If it were in the singular no 

 question would arise. It is claimed, 

 however, that if it is to be considered 

 an adjective applying to bulbs, it 

 should have been 'tulip' instead of 

 'tulips,' and therefore the grammatical 

 form of 'tulips' excludes tulip bulbs 

 from classification under this clause. 

 We think the context leads to the irre- 

 sistible conclusion that the word 

 'tulips' was intended to bring within 

 that clause tulip bulbs. 



"As stated by the Supreme Court 

 of the United States in Virginia v. 

 Tennessee (148 U. 8., 503, 519): 

 'Noscitur a sociis is a rule of construc- 

 tion applicable to all written instru- 

 ments. Where any particular word is 

 obscure or of doubtful meaning, taken 

 by itself, its obscurity or doubt may be 

 removed by reference to associated 

 words. And the meaning of a term may 

 be enlarged or restricted by reference 

 to the object of the whole clause in 

 which it is used.' 



"We are not disposed to observe 

 grammatical refinements for the bene- 

 fit of litigants when to do so would 

 render the teriAs of a 'Statute nugatory
