LARGE CROP OF CHINESE NAR- 

 CISSUS. 



In connection with the generally 

 splendid crops in the immediate vicin- 

 ity of Amoy this year, Vice-Consul 

 Charles F. Brissel reports that the pro- 

 duction of narcissus bulbs has greatly 

 increased, so that bulbs which in for- 

 mer years sold for about $8.25 (gold) 

 to $9.40 per 1,000 bulbs in Amoy, this 

 year are selling for $6 to $7 per 1,000 

 bulbs. The district of Chang Chow, 

 about 30 miles from Amoy, grows 

 practically all of these bulbs, and it 

 is said to be the only section of China 

 which produces bulbs of such excel- 

 lence. •
