 land. 



Havinjj found this location, we began 

 experiments with about four acres of 

 bulbs in 1903, and have gradually in- 

 •creased the plantations till at the present 

 time we have fifty acres planted with 

 narcissi, tulips, early flowering gladioli 

 and irises, besides our experimental 

 patches. 



Peculiarities of Demand. 



As you can well understand, all this 

 has not been done without a great deal 

 of money spent, and lots of disappoint- 

 ments. In the first place, we have found 

 that though the greater part of the now 

 large family of narcissi can be grown 

 successfully here, there are a few varie- 

 ties that have not as yet answered to our 

 treatment, notably the Telamonius ple- 

 nus, or double daffodil, which will come 

 green with us in spite of everything we 

 can do to stop it. We are therefore 

 obliged to sell only imported roots of 

 this variety. I may add that the Vir- 

 ginia Experimental Station, at Blacks- 

 Tiurgh, is taking the matter up for us in 

 the hope of finding a remedy. 



When starting our experiments we im- 

 ported stocks of the varieties most liked 

 l)y ihf- English trade, but we have now

proved that the English and American 

 tastes differ. Take, for instance, Poeticus 

 ornatus; in England there is no flower 

 so much sought after for forcing pur- 

 poses as this one, while here it is prac- 

 tically not used at all. I cannot account 

 for this, unless It is because of its little 

 red center, as it is a cheap bulb and 

 sure to give a fine percentage of bloom. 

 We also tried Barri conspicuus, a 

 flower that is thought much of in the 

 old country. Here it does not seem to 

 take. Though we never especially rec-
