Extract

The gross annual wholesale value of Easter lilies and other ornamental bulb crops grown in the United States in 1950 was estimated at 9.2 million dollars. Because of the high per-acre value of these crops, intensive management is practiced in an effort to produce maximum yields of high quality flowers and bulbs at minimum costs.
