TRADE IN HOLLAND BULBS. 



Murillo tulips are freely selling in 

 England at 60 shillings, Yellow Prince 

 at 26 shillings, La Eeine at 24 shillings 

 and so on, and these figures are likely 

 to be considerably advanced in the near 

 future. A much larger demand and the 

 booking of some heavy orders are re- 

 ported by travelers returning from 

 America. In conversation with a traveler 

 recently returned from Scandinavia I 

 was informed that the sales in that re- 

 gion constitute almost a record and at 

 high prices. And on a recent prospect- 

 ing journey into the new cultivations re- 

 cently opened in the north of Haarlem, 

 I found that an immense demand from 

 this new district will be experienced this 

 year. Many acres that have never pre- 

 viously grown anything but vegetables 

 are proposed to be planted principally 

 with tulips. Then again, on account of

 Holland auction and private sales at 

 home, many of the small firms will not 

 trouble to travel at all, but will rather 

 clear all out at home at an even higher 

 price and in one sweeping sale. It is 

 a generally accepted fact that the larger 

 bulb growing firms are fairly wealthy 



and not in need of ready money, and 

 therefore many of them, rather than sell 

 their own stock down, would buy in and 

 greatly increase their stock. It is the 

 usual custom in all trades to hold stock 

 when prices are high and values con- 

 tinually going still higher. Consequently,
