made to prepare as extensively as pos- 

 sible for future years' business. There- 

 fore Mr. Vanden Abeele has no more 

 than working capital in hand at pres- 

 ent. 



So he proposes that the Cottage Gar- 

 dens Nurseries take title of the Eden 

 property, redeeming it with the pro- 

 ceeds obtained from a $20,000 first 

 mortgage on the property and the sale 

 of the 8an Jose establishment. This 

 would necessitate the release of all 

 judgment liens by creditors, who would, 

 according to his plan, receive a second 

 mortgage for the amount of their in- 

 debtednoas. The nineteen judgment 

 creditors have claims amounting to 

 $25,987.79. Mr. Vanden Abeele advises 

 that a board of trustees be appointed, 

 to whom all creditors would assign 

 their claims. 



HOLLAND BULB EXPORTS. 



Exports of flowering bulbs from Hol- 

 land in 1920 showed a decrease com- 

 pared with the value of the exports in 

 1919, according to the recent report of 

 the consul general at Rotterdam, but 

 the decrease was in value rather than 

 in volume and exports to the United 

 States showed an increase. The ex- 

 ports of flowering bulbs, according to 

 Dutch statistics, were as follows:

THE DUTCH BULB CROP 



The early spring at Lisse, Holland, 

 and the generally fine weather gave 

 expectations of a first-class bulb crop. 

 Then, however, dry weather set in and 

 the general opinion of a crop equal to 

 or better than last year's underwent 

 a great change, state J. J. Grullemans 

 & Sons, of Lisse. For weeks there was 

 no rain of importance. If this docs not 

 come soon, bulbs may turn out to be 

 much smaller than last year. The out- 

 look at present is as follows: 



Hyacinths are generally good, al- 

 though in a great number of fields they 

 show signs of suffering from drought. 



Early tulips have suffered much, and 

 there will be harvested a smaller bulb 

 than last year. Darwins are, as a rule, 

 looking better. - ..

Crocuses are dying off fast and only 

 a medium crop may be expected. 



Of narcissi, on the lower fields a 

 good crop is expected, whereas in other 

 districts only a medium crop will be 

 harvested. 



Among anemones and ranunculi, the 

 dry weather has played great havoc. 

 The same may be said of the greater 

 part of the miscellaneous stuff.
