system of protection is entitled to a 

 smile at the reasoning in the last sen- 

 tence of the decision, which is, in full, 

 as follows: 



BRECK & SON V. UNITED STATES. 



1. "Hyacinth" in Paragraph 261, Tariff Act 



of 1909. 

 The only assignable reason for the change of 

 "hyacinths" in paragraph 251, tariff act of 1897, 

 to "hyacinth" In paragraph 263, tariff act of 

 1909, Is the word in the last case was employed 

 as an adjective and not a noun, and "liyaciiith" 

 in the connection there used must accordingiy 

 take Its grammatical construction as an ad- 

 jective; and this more especially as there is 

 nothing to indicate a contrary intent In framing 

 that paragraph. 



2. Hyacinth Clumps. 



Hvaclnth clumps are clusters of roots or bulbs 

 Joined together and are within the ordinary mean- 

 ing of the word "clumps." 



3. Hyacinth Bulbs. 



A comparison between the former law and the 

 later form of it seems to make it clear the im- 

 portation was dutiable not as hyacinth, and so 

 taking a higher duty, but as bulbs from which 

 clumps are propagated, at a lesser rate of duty, 

 under paragraph 261, tariff act of 1909. 



United States Court of Customs Ap- 

 peals, May 1, 1911. 



Appeal from a decision of the Board 

 of United States General Appraisers. 

 Decision reversed. 



Brown & Gerry and Curtis Nye Smith

D. Frank Lloyd, Assistant Attorney 

 General, for the United States. 



Before Montgomery, Smith, Barber 

 and De Vries, judges. 



SEVEN TOP TURNIP 



C Originally introduced by us from South Carolina in 1850 and annually grown for over 

 sixty years under the zero winter temperature of Bloomsdale Farms, the Landreths' 

 strain of Seven Top has obtained, by this northern culture, a hardiness not approached 

 by southern-grown seed. All Inferences would point that way, while thousands of exper- 

 iments have ponclusively proven it beyond a shadow of doubt; consequently, one pound 

 of Landreths' Seven Top will in the dead of winter produce more greens than can be cut 

 from three times the more delicate southern-grown Seven Top. 

 C Write us how much you want and we will name you a price.

De Vries, judge, delivered the opinion 

 of the court:

 land were assessed for duty by the col-

 1909.
