IN HOLLAND BULB FIELDS. 



Word comes from Dutch bulb grow- 

 ers to their canvassers seeking orders 

 here that the weather in February was 

 unusually mild, with the result that 

 the winter covering was stripped from 

 the fields at an unusually early date 

 and an early flowering season is ex- 

 pected, witli its possibility of early 

 ripening, digging, curing and shipping. 

 None of the bulb fields has suffered 

 from the floods, although a considerable 

 area- had been planted in one of the 

 polders, but being on the high level 

 side the damage caused by the water 

 is likely to be slight and of no conse- 

 quence for the general crop. The trade 

 in gladiolus bulbs has come to a stop, 

 but the quantities left are small, and 

 in many lines a shortage, with a sharp 

 rise in prices, is expected. 



SCANDAL INSEED CORN FAMILY. 



The following play on the names of 

 varieties of corn is by an employee of 

 the Western Seed & Irrigation Co., Fre- 

 mont, Neb.: 



"When Longfellow went down the 

 Genesee Valley to look after the Gold 

 Mine, he found the Country Gentleman 

 out with the Angel of Midnight along 

 about the Peep O'Day. He notified the 

 King of the Earliest, also the Minnesota 

 King, who asked the Howling Mob to 

 call up the Black Mexican and say: 

 'Ye Smutnose, go make an investiga- 

 tion of all the seed corn.' He did, and 

 found O. S. Crosby with the Pride of 

 the North enjoying life at the Wiscon- 

 sin Carnival. They were stopping at 

 Henderson 's Metropolitan. O. S. 

 Crosby wore a little White Cap. The 

 Pride of the North was dressed in 

 King Philip Red. 



"He found C. S. Crosby out in Da- 

 kota following a Zigzag trail trying to 

 locate a Silver Mine. Also found the 

 Golden Beauty dressed in Calico trying 

 to get the Australian to give up his 

 Legal Tender for a bogus White Pearl
