The Florists^ Review 



SUFTBIlfBWl 3Q, 1A20 



have amounted to the following for the 

 three different grades : Yellow Ber- 

 muda, 49,529 pounds, valued at $77,647; 

 crystal wax, 7,876 pounds, valued at 

 $18,088, and red Bermuda, 952 pounds, 

 valued at $1,274, totaling 58,357 

 pounds and $97,009, in comparison with 

 69,592 pounds and $74,245 for declared 

 exports for 1919. While these figures 

 clearly show a decreased production, 

 they are decidedly in excess of esti- 

 mates, which placed the 1920 crop at 

 40,000 to 45,000 pounds. It may be that 

 certain amounts of old seed were mixed 

 with new and thus increased exports, 

 although it is not thought that the bet- 

 ter class of dealers do this intentionally. 



The decreased crop, which was due to 

 small plantings and unfavorable 

 weather, brought about higher prices, as 

 indicated by the figures for quantities 

 and values. Larger plantings are ex- 

 pected this fall following the high prices 

 which have been realized and because 

 of the fact that onion bulbs for planting 

 are abundant and low in price. 



From eighty to ninety per cent of 

 the Canary islands' onion seed crop is 

 shipped to the United States, and it 

 constitutes the principal item in the 

 islands' exports to this country.
