The importer, appellant here, main- 

 tains that they are dutiable at 50 cents 

 per thousand under the last provision 

 of the same paragraph, ' ' all other 

 bulbs." The Board of General Ap- 

 praisers overruled the protest. 



The determination of this issue, 

 which is one essentially of construction 

 of law, will be aided by an examina- 

 tion of paragraph 251 of the tariff act 

 of 1897, of which the foregoing para- 

 graph was the successor. 



Paragraph 251 of the tariff act of 



1897 reads as follows: 



2.11. Orcliliis, paImB, dracaenas, crotons and 

 azaleas, tulips, hyacinths, narcissi. Jonquils, 

 lilies, lilies of the valley, and all other bulbs, 

 bulbous roots, or corms, which are cultivated for 

 their flowers, and natural flowers of ail kinds, 

 preserved or fresh, suitable for decorative pur- 

 poses, twenty-flve per centum ad valorem. 



The conclusion herein reached is de- 

 pendent upon whether or not the word 

 "hyacinth," as used in paragraph 263, 

 supra, is used as an adjective modify 

 ing the word "clumps," in the same 

 paragraph, or as a noun, embracing 

 therewith all merchandise covered by 

 its import. 



The scheme of enactment adopted in 

 the act of 1897 obviously differs from 

 that adopted in the act of 1909. In 

 the act of 1897 plural nouns were used 

 covering the various classes of mer- 

 chandise intended to be made dutiable, 

 followed by a modifying phrase defin- 

 ing the precise application in which the 

 preceding nouns were employed by con- 

 gress. The plan of the act of 1909 

 differs. The subjects of legislation were 

 divided in accordance with the rate to 

 be applied, those assessed at the same 

 rate being included in the same brack- 

 ets, the brackets being divided by a 

 semicolon. The first bracket followed 

 the scheme of the act of 1897 by using 

 nouns with a general modifying phrase 

 and applying the same ad valorem 

 rate. The remaining brackets adopted 

 the adjectival plan. In the whole 

 scheme, with reference to these brack- 

 ets, excepting the first, a change from
