BULBS NEAR BELUNGHAM. 



After a number of years of coopera- 

 tive experimental work, much of which 

 was carried on in and near Bellingham, 

 Wash., the United States Bureau of 

 Plant Industry has decided to establish 

 somewhere on Puget sound, if prac- 

 ticable, a regular station of ten or a 

 dozen acres for the further investigation 

 and exploitation of bulb culture in the 

 Puget sound country. This wUl be done 

 under the direct management and per- 

 sonal supervision of Henry E. Juene- 

 mann, bulb expert of the Department of 

 Agriculture, who has had charge ox the 

 bulb experiments of the government for 

 the last six years and who has spent the 

 last year conducting experiments at Bel- 

 lingham, Tacoma and Spokane, with 

 headquarters at Bellingham. 



L. M. Morrison, assistant in charge of 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry, has been 

 on the ground during the last week, and 

 it is understood that he is authorized to 

 close negotiations for a suitable tract of 

 land and formally establish the station 

 under contract for ten years. The re- 

 quirements are that the land must be 

 ready for cultivation and must include a 

 suitable residence for the superintendent 

 and other buildings, all of which to be 

 furnished free of cost to the bureau.
