that the Cottage Gardens Nurseries will 

 abandon the attempt to grow tulips and 

 narcissi at Eureka, Cal., comes the re- 

 port that the National Bulb Farms, of 

 which A. J. Pruyser is the head, at Ben- 

 ton Harbor, Mich., has on the way from 

 Holland the largest importation of 

 planting stock of daffodils ever shipped 

 out of Holland. There are 260 cases, 

 about three carloads, approximately 

 three million bulblets, in the shipment. 

 These are to be planted at two places 

 in Michigan, one of them Benton Har- 

 bor, the other location yet to be de- 

 termined. Mr. Pruyser says that the 

 stock was obtained at a low price be- 

 cause of an accumulation in Holland due 

 to the war and he feels confident that 

 growing the stock on here will prove 

 successful both from the quality and 

 financial point of view. 



To finance its development the Na- 

 tional Bulb Farms, Inc., recently has in- 

 creased its capital stock to $250,000, of 

 which $160,000 has been paid in.
