The Scilly Flower Industry.

A correspondent of the London Times
states that the growing of early potatoes
has been completely superseded as the chief
industry Of the SciHy Islands by the culti-
walton of he narassus for the English
flower market. Tenor fifteen years ago the
narcissus was looked .ap as an unmitigated
pest by the farmers sad carloads of bulbs
were to be had for'the asking by the pio-
neers of the new industry. But now the
better sorts of narcissi cost from 81 to 80
FER 1000. and an acre Of land takes 400. .OOO
bulbs. About 400 acres are under this cul-
tivation, and the islanders draw about f4O.
600 year from this source. Nearly all the
potatoes and other vegetables consumed in
Scilly have now to be imported AS soon
as the forcing of narcissi is over, the houses
are filled with tomato plants A correspond
snt says that the cost Of carriage from
scilly to Penzahce is 3s Cd per cwt., which
Is excessive, and he suggests that the
steamship service should be bought up and
improved by the Great Western Railway
Company. which would also develop the
tourist possibilities of the island.
