types of soil, we want something fairly 

 close to town, so that it can be easily ac- 

 cessible to people desiring to see the 

 ' place, and we need about ten acres of 

 land containing the two general types of 

 soil mentioned. The Bellingham people, 

 I believe, are willing to furnish a tract of 

 land such as required if it can be secured 

 within reasonable cost. 



"Before going any further with the 

 matter we have thought it best to bring 

 to Washington the man who has been in 

 charge of the work out there and go over 

 the whole question carefully. All the 

 stock which we have at present is left in 

 good condition in the hands of McRae 

 Smith, of Bellingham, who is under con- 

 tract to grow it for us during the season. 

 Whether we finally conclude to enlarge 

 the work will depend upon our ability to 

 obtain a satisfactory location, and the 

 work for the next fiscal year would be 

 conditioned upon the amount of money 

 available for the purpose. 



"In our opinion, the temporary sus- 

 pension of this work will not have any 

 material effect on the ultimate develop- 

 ment of the industry. We are already 

 cooperating with all those who appear* to 

 have any desire to grow bulbs in that 

 region, and so far there has been no evi- 

 dence of any immediate extension of the 

 industry. We desire to have the work 

 move slowly and cautiously and be devel- 

 oped upon a thoroughly safe foundation, 

 knowing as far as possible all the factors 

 involved, so that money will not be in- 

 vested carelessly." 



THE DEATH ROLL. 



E. D. DarIins[ton. 



E. Dillwyn Darlington, for twenty-five 

 years connected with the firm of W. At- 

 lee Burpee & Co., died at his home in 

 Doylestown, Pa., March 26, after a brief 

 illness with pneumonia. His many friends 

 were much shocked by the entirely unex- 

 pected news of his death. 



Mr. Darlington was the eldest son of 

 the late Henry T. and Susan Darlington, 

 and was born in Doylestown November 

 20, 1858. His youth was spent in Doyles-
