SHIPMENTS OF FORMOSA LILIES 



The crop of Formosa lilies this season was larger than was expected. High 

 prices prevailed, however, and several exporters are reported to have lost con- 

 siderable sums in filling their orders. Of some interest to the trade will be the 

 table below, giving the consignments to this country, together with the destina- 

 tions and marks, as well as the shippers and dates. The total number of cases 

 shipped to this country was 6,371; that to other countries was 3,559, making the 

 grand total of shipments to date 9,930 cases. The consignments to the United 

 States were as follows:

really important failures. Cauliflower, 

 cabbage and Brussels sprouts promise 

 an average crop, according to Sluis & 

 Groot, of Enkhuisen. There was great- 

 er variation in the various fields of tur- 

 nips and Swedes. The acreage of man- 

 gels and sugar beets was much reduced 

 this year. The development of beet 

 was late, owing to dry weather in the 

 spring, but a middling crop is reported 

 in prospect on a good acreage. Kadish 

 is satisfactory, but the acreage is lim- 

 ited. Onion has given poor results. 

 Parsley was sown on a large scale, but 

 only a small area survives. Spinach 

 was not sown as widely as usual and 

 the stand was so poor that some fields 

 were plowed up, but the prospect on 

 what is left is not bad. The prospect 

 on peas is uncertain. Beans got a 

 bad start, with a shortage of stock seed. 

 There is a small area of parsnip, but 

 the stand is good. Celery will be a 

 small crop.
