BUREAU OF PLANT QUARANTINE 
45 
During the year 1,340 permits were issued authorizing the entry of 2,132,804 
plants, bulbs, etc. A total of 668,246 plants, bulbs, etc., were imported as com- 
pared with 3,128,294 in 1933. The great disparity between the quantity author- 
ized entry and the quantity actually imported during the year is explained in 
part by the fact that permits have been issued during this year for several rela- 
tively large bulb importations to be made early in the fiscal year 1935. Increased 
importations, as compared with those in 1933, are noted for dahlias, fruits trees 
and small fruits), and ornamentals. In the last group 47,737 more plants, etc., 
were imported than in 1933. Bulbous iris importations were 1,634,566 bulbs 
less, and narcissus importations 810,406 bulbs less than in 1933. Proportion- 
ately large decreases in quantities imported are also noted in the case of peonies, 
roses, and the herbaceous group and miscellaneous bulbs, roots, etc. Sixty-two 
percent of the importations were authorized entry by mail as compared with 71 per- 
cent so authorized in 1933. A summary of special permits issued during the entire 
period of the quarantine to June 30, 1934, is given in table 21. The distribution 
of special-permit material by States is shown in table 22, which is cumulative.

Note.— The disparity in the number of bulbs, plants, etc., imported, as compared with the number 
authorized entry, may he explained by the fact that permits for some classes of plants, particularly nareissus 
and bulbous iris, are usually issued during one fiscal year and the importations made during the following 
fiscal year.
