DUTCH BULB SEASON. 



Iie\ie\vin{>' tlie salient ]ioints of the 

 past season in bulbs, Tronip Bros., of 

 Lisse. Holland, state: 



"French bulbs were shipped a little 

 later than the previous year, owing to 

 tlu' well known deadlock. However, we 

 wer(> able to execute orders in the best 

 quality and required quantities, before 

 the middle of July. Roman hyacinths 

 were scarce and prices high, making the 

 article almost useless for the trade. This 

 fact undoubtedly accounts for the enor- 

 mous sale of ))repared hyacinths, of 

 which the variety Ij 'Innocence is tak- 

 ing a great deal the place of the white 

 Roman. 



"Contrary to last year's experience, 

 when at the end of the season a surplus 

 was noticeable, this year ended unex- 

 pectedly with a rlcan-up in almost every 

 lino and, with a few exceptions, firm 

 prices. 



"Hyacinths hebl their own up to the 

 end, although .a price adequate in view 

 of their high t-nst of cultivation could 

 not be realized, which fact is (lue to the 

 still nnsatisfactoiy eastern trade. 



"Tulips sold out well at fair prices, 

 except the varieties La Reino and 

 Murillo, of which :i good quality was 

 still on hand late in the season. The 

 best quality of the leading Darwins soon 

 showed an advantage in price, while 

 breeders, offered at more reasonable 

 prices, found a ready market. 



"Daffodils and narcissi sold out en- 

 tirely, with increased prices for some 

 leading varieties. Golden Spur and 

 {)oet.'iz narcissi could not meet the de- 

 ni.aiid, and late nidiM-N liad to be refused. 



"Taken ail .-iround, the season closed 

 favorablj- for the bull) tiade. The use- 

 fulness of the article to the trade was 

 again shown by tiie firm demand on the 

 part of the consumers, while on the part 

 of tlie producers a lively a<'tivity was 

 exercised. ' '
