Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The value of U.S. imports of fresh cut flowers and buds nearly doubled to more than $1.7 million in 1969/70 from $0.9 million a year earlier. Our cut flower imports have risen steadily from only $97,000 in 1963/64, when they represented 0.7 percent of total U.S. imports of nursery and greenhouse stock. The share rose to 9 percent in 1969/70. The jump in U.S. purchases of fresh foreign blooms the past few years is a significant development in our nursery and greenhouse stock trade. U.S. imports of all nursery and greenhouse stock (including cut flowers) in 1969/70 totaled $18.9 million, up nearly 15 percent from the previous year.
