years. On the whole, the trade has 

 greatly increased in the last ten years 

 — doubled in exports. The records show 

 a large increase of imports from Japan. 

 These began in 1902 with 3,311 kilos, 

 and were more or less in quantity dur- 

 ing each of the intervening years till 

 1910, when, apparently, Japanese bulbs 

 suddenly sprang into great favor. The 

 largest growth of imports is from the 

 British Isles, the amount increasing 

 800 per cent in ten years. In the last 

 ten years the exports to the British 

 Isles and to Germany and Austria have 

 doubled and to the United States and 

 the other countries in the list have 

 nearly trebled* 



"Freezing weather the first week of 

 April seriously threatened the bulb 

 crop in this district," writes Consul 

 Prank W. Mahin, at Amsterdam. "De- 

 veloping tulips and hyacinths were 

 nipped by the frost and total destruc- 

 tion was feared. But an abundance of 

 sunshine and fairly warm weather 

 since then have improved the situa- 

 tion, and it is now probable that the 

 crop will be normal, though retarded 

 in development."
