THE JAPAN BULB BUSINESS. 



To what extraordinary dimensions 

 the Japan bulb business has attained 

 may be shown by a few interesting 

 figures. 



The steamer Monteagle of the Ca- 

 nadian Pacific S. S. & Railway Com- 

 panies which left Yokohama on Aug. 

 27. 1907, for Vancouver, B. C, took 

 the largest cargo of lily bulbs ever 

 shipped from Japan on one steamer. 

 A regular record breaker it is, consist- 

 ing of the immense amount of 4,699 

 cases or about 360 tons measurement: 

 1 ton equals 40 cb. ft. Taking as an 

 average 225 bulbs per case, this 

 steamer carried one million, fifty 

 seven thousand, two hundred and 

 sixtv-five (1,057,265) bulbs. The prin- 

 cipal portion of this shipment goes to 

 the United States and Canadian cities, 

 although a rather large number reach 

 Europe bv this route partly direct via 

 Montreal" and partly by transhipment 

 in New York. 



The bulbs shipped are at this early 

 season principally Lilium longiflorum' 

 and its different types and varieties.

Hydrangeas 



The exhibitions of flowers by school 

 children in ten of the public schools 

 of Detroit were a great success. The 

 children brought a general assortment 

 of outdoor flowers principally asters, 

 dahlias, gladioli, etc., of mostly very 

 good quality. Messrs. Walter Taepke, 

 Wm. Brown, and J. B. Scribner acted 

 as judges in seven schools while Sul- 

 livtin. Schroeter and Poucillon took 

 care of the three other schools. Vari- 

 ous prizes were distributed; the De- 

 troit Florist Club assisting by not only 

 furnishing the ftbovf judges but giv-
