and instances are known in which Brit- 

 ish funds paid for large quantities of 

 bulbs which it now is sought to get 

 into England on the contention that 

 they were bought and paid for before 

 the' embargo and will be a loss to the 

 English owners if excluded. 



[It is reported the English authori- 

 ties have agreed to admit fifty per cent 

 importations of Japanese lily bulbs this 

 season.] 



It is believed to be a fact that bulb 

 growing recently has been less profit- 

 able to the Japanese farmers than have 

 other crops, and it is on this that the 

 trade bases its belief that higher prices 

 are necessary if the industry is to be 

 continued on a rising plane.
