THE HARRISII CROP. 



So far as I can ascertain, the crop of 

 Lilium Harrisii now growing in Bermuda 

 will be as large as that of the preced- 

 ing year, when the value of the bulbs 

 shipped was reported as $32,151. The 

 conditions throughout the Islands seem 

 favorable. The continuous cold weather 

 has retarded the blooming of the plants, 

 and there will probably be a scarcity 

 of blooms at Easter. Visitors from the 

 north like to send home these blooms at 

 that time and some blooms are shipped 

 for commercial purposes, but it is not 

 a legitimate business, the trade being 

 in the bulbs. 



There promises to be a shortage ui 

 the 7-9 and 9-11 sizes owing to a much 

 smaller quantity of the large bulbs be- 

 ing planted this season. 



I add a table giving the values of the 

 shipments of bulbs, and in some in- 

 stances, the blooms, for the years begin- 

 ning with 1S95. I do not explain why 

 it is that the amount in money has so 

 fallen off. I may fairly suppose that 

 lower prices have ruled from year to 

 year, which would partly explain the 

 difference, also that the planter has had 

 to fight a. disease, a species of fungus 

 that caused a mite that fairly consumed 

 and rotted the growing bulb. There are 

 many enemies to fight in this as there 

 are "in all gardening and nursery work. 



Bulbs exported in the twelve months 

 ending December:

Tliese statistics read strangely, alter- 

 nating from one year to another in al- 

 most a proportionable manner. This I 

 do not account for, I give the results 

 and cannot explain them even to my own 

 satisfaction. This little country offers 

 to the gardener and florist very interest- 

 ing questions, well worth a visit for 

 study and research.
