▲cants for THK GROWERS* ASSOCIATION, Anna Paulowna, Holland 



England may be had from the follow- 

 ing extract from a British trade paper: 

 "In the Times one day last week a 

 Dutch firm, whose name is not unknown 

 to British growers, had a whole page 

 advertisement of bulbs. The advertise- 

 ment was a bold venture and its appeal 

 to the sympathy and generosity of the 

 British public was strong. It is, how- 

 ever, hard lines on British growers and 

 bulb merchants that the Hollanders 

 should be making frantic efforts to se- 

 cure our retail, as well as our wholesale 

 trade. We stand in urgent need of 

 every bit of business there may be, and 

 it is rather beyond reason that the Hol- 

 landers should first stock our ware- 

 houses, and then strive to steal our 

 customers. We are so easy-going that 

 I suppose the most we shall do is to 

 murmur that 'it's a bit too bad,' but 

 really the home trade should take defi- 

 nite steps to show the Dutch growers 

 that there ia a place to draw a line. 

 If Holland wants our wholesale orders 

 we must be allowed to keep our own 

 retail trade, and I consider we are 

 much to blame if we permit it to be 

 otherwise, because if the Dutchmen in- 

 sist upon poaching upon our proper 

 trading ground, we should stop buying 

 Dutch bulbs altogether."
