The exports of bulbs and bulbous roots 

 from the Netherlands in 1907 amounted 

 to 33,610,280 pounds, of which 6,214,120 

 pounds, valued at $531,098, went to the 

 United States. In 1906 the total ex- 

 ports were 26,180,000 pounds, the ship- 

 ments to the United States being 5,098,- 

 940 pounds of a declared value of $536,- 

 242; the relative figures in 1905 were 

 25,640,340 pounds total, and 4,413,640 

 pounds, worth $417,611, to the United 

 States. 



The best customer for the tulip and 

 hyacinth bulbs of the Netherlands is the 

 United Kingdom, which purchased 13,- 

 950,200 pounds in 1907. Germany and 

 Austria together bought 8,728,720 

 pounds, Norway, Sweden and Denmark 

 2,307,360 pounds, and Russia 793,100 

 pounds. 



As an indication of the growth of this 

 branch of Dutch agriculture, and as a 

 demonstration of the regular increase in 

 the demand for Dutch bulbs, it may be 

 stated that the exports in 1897 were only 

 12,543,955 pounds. The advance since 

 that time has averaged over 2,000,000 

 pounds a year.

Federico C. Varela, a grower at Ten-

"I am following attentively the de- 

 velopments of the Mann pure seed act, 

 and all that is taking place in connec- 

 tion with this important and far-reach- 

 ing movement. The position of Ameri- 

 can seedsmen, and, above all, that of 

 all dealers in foreign seeds imported 

 into the United States, is critical, should 

 this act be passed by congress.
