that late sales were made at figures 

 above quotations. A few Premier and

 around, but huge quantities of it were 



sold at good prices; values may not have 

 been commensurate with the cost of the 

 bulbs and the waste through blindness, 

 but many growers came out better than 

 they had expected to.
