ology of the statute was changed In order to 

 change Its meaning. The very fact that the prior 

 act Is amended demonstrates the Intent to change 

 the preJ^xlstlng law, and the presumption must 

 be that It was Intended to change the statute In 

 all particulars touching which we find a material 

 change In the language of the act. United States 

 V. Bashaw (50 Fed. Uep., 749) and Rothschild v. 

 United States (179 U. S., 463). 



The only conceivable reason for the 

 changing of the word "hyacinths" 

 from the plural in the act of 1897 to 

 the singular in the act of 1909 is to 

 make it an adjective instead of a noun. 

 Strength is added to this conclusion by 

 the fact that if the word is used in the 

 act of 1909 as a noun, it is used dif- 

 ferently from the manner in which sim- 

 ilar words are customarily used in 

 tariff acts, for when used as a noun 

 descriptive of merchandise eo nomine 

 such words are customarily used in the 

 plural. If the nounal rather than the 

 adjectival sense is to be given the 

 word "hyacinth," as used in paragraph 

 263, it will differ from the obvious 

 sense in which all such words are used 

 in the framework of that paragraph 

 and will stand alone as the one noun 

 used in the paragraph in the singular 

 rather than in the plural, and the one 

 word used as a noun in several pre- 

 cisely similar texts.
