' Quantity refers to number of propagating units, such as plants, bulbs, conns, tubers, cuttin 
other id Lterials. 
' The difference between the number of narcissus bulbs imported and those authorized may l>e explained 
by the fact that some of the permits under which those bulbs were imported were issued during the previous 
fiscal year. 
3 The dl--p irity between this flgUM end the actual total of the column above is explained by the f 
a single permit may authorize the entry of more than 1 cl;iss of plants and in such instances is lis: 
under each class. 
During the year 1,767 special permits were Issued authorising the entry 
of 3,294,796 plants, bulbs, and other materials. A total of 2,624,694 plants. 
bulbs, etc., were Imported, .-is compared with 668,246 Id 1934. lncr< 
Importations, as compared with those In 1934, are noted in all classes. The 
Largest Increase is in Importations of bulbous Iris; there were 1,006,520 more 
Iris bulbs Imported In 1965 than In L934. in 1985 more Bpecial permits were 
Issued and the Dumber of permits under which Importations were made was 
greater than during any previous year Bince Quarantine No. 37 was promul- 
gated. Sixty-three percent of the Importations were authorised entry by mail
