BUIAS IN SOUTH OF FRANCE. 



Francis M. Mansfield, U. S. Consular 

 Agent at Toulon, France, sends the 

 State Department an account of the 

 bulb growing industry in the south of 

 France from which the following will 

 be of interest to the trade: 



"According to the statistics of the 

 departmental professor of agriculture, 

 the bulk of the area given over to hor- 

 ticulture is that devoted to flowering 

 bulbs, grown for the bulbs, of which 

 there were exported to the United 

 States in 1911 nearly $200,000 worth, 

 and for their blooms, which, during the 

 winter season, are shipped to the whole- 

 sale flower markets of Paris, London 

 and Berlin by special train leaving the 

 coast towns each night. 



"The most extensive area noted in 

 1911 was that devoted to the narcis- 

 sus, 3,552.54 acres, followed by hya- 

 cinths, 717.75 acres, and Lilium candi- 

 dum, 395.36 acres. This total, which 

 does not take count of the freesia, 

 gladiolus, ranunculus, or the violet, had 

 approximately the same acreage as in 

 1910, with a certain gain in area of 

 Lilium candidum and about the same 

 loss on hyacinths. 



"Immortelles cover an area of 531.25 

 acres and produce a crop valued at 

 $38,600, of which nearly seventy-five 

 per cent is exported to the United 

 States. Including all the horticultural 

 products of the Department of the Var, 

 of which immortelles and flowering 

 bulbs only are exported to the United 

 States, there has been a steady annual 

 increase, averaging twenty per cent. 



"In general, the bulb crop of nar- 

 cissus, hyacinth, and Lilium candidum 

 was large in 1911, particularly of the 

 finer varietie*. Prices at the beginning 

 of the shipping season, .July 1, were
