BERMUDA LILY BULBS. 



Vice-Consul W. H. Hcyl, of Hamil- 

 ton, states that the report of the Board 

 of Agriculture of Bermuda just issued 

 contains the following reference to the 

 lily-bulb industry of that island: 



The lily-bulb Industry is rapidly recover- 

 ing itself under the direction of the de- 

 partment, the weakest point being the un- 

 restricted export of bulbs not true to type, 

 falsely marked. A "pure-seed'' law In 

 America, parallel to the "pure-food" law, 

 would bring the mixed-bulb Industry In 

 Bermuda to au abrupt conclusion. At pres- 

 ent the sale of selected stock, true to 

 type, is being hampered, prices kept down, 

 and confidence in the trade jeopardized; it 

 is manifestly unfair to those growers who- 

 have exercised industry and foresight and 

 who hare followed with eare the advice 

 published from time to time by this de- 

 partment; for the purchasing florist does 

 not know what he has bought until the 

 bulbs are in full growth three or four 

 months after potting. 



The superintendent of the Bermuda pub- 

 lic garden states that "the disappointment 

 of both grower and customer, caused by 

 the nonflowering of bulbs sent over as 

 Lilium llarrisii. but which are not, have 

 combined to reduce the value of the in- 

 dustry In Bermuda by some 80 per cent. 

 Some' two or three of our largest growers, 

 I am glad to say, have for the last few 

 years very carefully weeded out during 

 growth the "hybrids" and longiflorums and 

 can now guarantee their stock absolutely 

 pure Harrisii." 



At the end of the year it is gratifying 

 to be able to report an immense improve- 

 ment all round in the lily industry and 

 next year should witness the export of 

 some Very fine bulbs. The total number 

 of enses shipped was 6,399, valued at 

 S-10.777.
