THE LILY BULB SITUATION. 



A pretty good consignment of Jap- 

 anese lily bulbs was disposed of at 

 auction in New York on October 5. 

 The bulbs were mostly bought up by 

 the wholesale importers at rather high 

 prices— evidently to cover shortages— 

 which seems to indicate that ship- 

 ments now arriving in this country are 

 under estimate and that orders on 

 some lines will be filled with more or 

 less difficulty. 



Wc are informed in a letter just re- 

 ceived from Japan, that forty-five days 

 of consecutive rain and misty weather 

 did much damage to the multiflorum 

 lilies and '^-los" are very scarce in 

 consequence. The longiflorum gigan- 

 teums are all right, but have stiffened 

 in value in consequence of the demand 

 caused by the scarcity of the multi- 

 florums.
