Note. — The disparity in the number of bulbs, plants, etc., imported, as compared with the number 
authorized entry, may be explained by the fact that permits for some classes of plants, particularly nar- 
cissus and bulbous iris, are usually issued during one fiscal year and the importations made during the 
following fiscal year. 
The number of varieties considered has now reached a total of 62,570 (an 
increase of 3,242 during the year), of which 60,214 have been approved for 
entry. Table 21 shows the distribution of these varieties among the various 
classes of plants as well as a comparison of the 1933 importations with those of 
1932 for each class. The distribution of special-permit material by States is 
shown in table 22, which is cumulative.
