CHINESE LILY BULBS. 



Consul Maynard, at Amoy, China, has 

 sent the following report to the State 

 Department at Washington on narcissus 

 bulb shipments from China: 



"For some years one firm at Amoy 

 has been the principal shipper of nar- 

 cissus bulbs. These bulbs come entirely 

 from this district, and the great bulk 

 of the shipments go to the United 

 States, $7,658 worth being invoiced 

 thereto last year through this consulate. 

 Once each year, during the month of 

 July, one of the large Pacific Mail 

 steamers calls at Amoy for a big ship- 

 ment of narcissus bulbs to the United 

 States direct, practically all of which 

 are forwarded by this firm. 



"Some months ago it was anticipated 

 that the narcissus harvest this year 

 would be a record one, but climatic and 

 other adverse conditions have done 

 much to damage the bulbs and reduce 

 the quantity, and prices have greatly 

 advanced. It is also claimed that the 

 local buyers refuse to meet the high 

 prices demanded by the growers, which 

 has caused dispute and may result in 

 shipments being held up. The matter 

 of quality also causes dispute. In 1912 

 regular bulbs were worth $9.40 Mexican 

 per thousand. (Mexican silver dollar 

 in far east has fluctuating value, and 

 July 1, 1914, was worth about $0,458 

 U. S. currency.) The price increased to 

 $11.60 Mexican in 1913, and this year 

 bulbs are quoted at $14.45 Mexican per 

 thousand. These prices do not include 

 the high transportation charges from 

 the interior to Amoy." 



WAR AND THE DUTCH BULBS. 



The U. S. Department of Commerce 

 at Washington has given out the follow- 

 ing information on the bulb industry of 

 Holland and the effect of the war upon 

 it: 



"Rumors have been circulating re- 

 cently that the war has given almost a 

 deathblow to the Dutch bulb trade, and 

 that the consequence will be the great- 

 est disappointment to those engaged in 

 the trade. 



"The growers have held a consulta- 

 tion, and as a result the laborers are to 

 be paid lower wages, and it is proposed, 

 says a correspondent, to destroy a third 

 of the crop. 



"It is certain that the war will do 

 much damage to this branch of indus- 

 try, yet whether this will be in the
