Maryland May Become Center of Narcissus Industry
An embargo on narcissus bulb imports may push Holland growers to Maryland, as the Federal Board of Horticulture and the Agriculture Department weigh the ban. If foreign bulbs are barred, Dutch immigration to the U.S. could rise, turning Maryland into a bulb producing state. Imports now come mainly from Holland with insects like narcissus fly. Prices have risen on embargo talk, and a ruling is due within months.
