HYACINTH DUTY AND GRAMMAR. 



(Oontinued from page 68.) 



therefor are chosen; the bulb is then 

 scooped out or T crosses made on the 

 exterior and bottom with a knife; it 

 is then stored in a dry, warm place 

 until little bulblets, so-called, are 

 started; these little bulblets germinate 

 upon the wounds of the bulb made by 

 the scooping or cutting; it is main- 

 tained in a particular temperature for 

 about three months, whereupon these 

 little bulblets are formed; the result is 

 then planted like an ordinary bulb, and 

 the little bulblets grown in the mother 

 bulb and form little sprouts, and while 

 in the ground gradually consume the 

 mother bulb, whereupon they are taken 

 up to be dried and planted again, which 

 process is repeated until they become a 

 matured hyacinth. 



Pictures were introduced showing the 

 cluster of little bulblets on a mother 

 bulb, and it is claimed by the importer, 

 appellant, and was testified by the wit- 

 nesses that this is what could be prop- 

 erly characterized as a "hyacinth 

 clump." It is undoubtedly a cluster of 

 roots or bulbs joined together, and 

 within the ordinary understanding of 

 the word "clumps." That such clumps 

 exist in Holland in great numbers, are 

 interchanged among the growers there, 

 and occasionally, though in r.<ire in- 

 stances, are imported into this country, 

 is made clear by the record. As shown 

 by the record, successful importation 

 must be attended with very great care. 

 For experimental propagation of these, 

 the record shows, importations have 

 been made by the government, a plant 

 has been established in the state of 

 Washington, and their cultivation made 

 a matter of governmental attention and 

 effort. 



In the light of these facts this court 

 does not feel warranted in disturbing 

 the grammatical construction and ap- 

 parent intent of the congress in the en- 

 actment of paragraph 263 as affecting 

 hyacinth clumps. Indeed, the act being 

 a protective one for the purpose of not 

 alone maintaining existing industries, 

 but particularly for the purpose of de- 

 veloping new industries, these facts ap- 

 pear to be in perfect harmony with the 

 purposes of the act and argue an inten- 

 tion of the congress to levy a duty upon 

 hyacinth clumps, and in furtherance of 

 the propagation thereof a lesser duty 

 upon the hyacinth bulb from which 

 the clump is propagated. 



Eeversed. 



Montgomery, presiding judge, and 

 Smith and Barber, judges, concur.
