BULB GROWERS IN HOLLAND. 



Jubilee Bulb Show at Haarlem in 1910. 



The Dutch Bulb Growers' Society is 

 organizing an important flower show in 

 commemoration of its half -centenary. 



It is well known that this society till 

 now has organized shows of forced bulb- 

 ous plants every five years. The last 

 exhibition of this kind was held at 

 Haarlem, March, 1905, and although the 

 quality of the exhibits was of a high 

 standard, the show as a whole was not a 

 great success. All the visitors, and espe- 

 cially the foreign members of the jury, 

 were unanimous in declaring that a 

 show of flowering bulbs in the open 

 ground was to be preferred in future. 

 The general meeting of the society de- 

 cided that the next quinquennial show 

 should be held in the flowering season of 

 the bulbs, from the first day of April 

 till the middle of May in the year 1910. 

 The Haarlem city council, recognizing 

 the high economical importance of bulb 

 culture, has consented that the most pic- 

 turesque part of the city park shall be 

 disposed of as a site for the show, and 

 consequently it will be possible to pre- 

 pare a floral exhibition of a quite dis-

tinct and new character, situated in land- 

 scape scenery of rare beauty. 



The flowering season of hyacinths and 

 tulips every year attracts large crowds 

 of visitors, not only horticulturists wish- 

 ing to inspect and to control stocks and 

 growers, but also tourists for pleasure, 

 who have always been highly delighted 

 with the unique floral beauty of pictur- 

 esque Holland in April and May. 



The proposed exhibition will doubtless 

 be a true floral fete, and Haarlem dur- 

 ing the days of the show will become 

 the rendezvous of horticulturists and 

 amateurs from all parts of the world. 



The Dutch Bulb Growers' Society has 

 every reason to celebrate its half-cente- 

 nary in this wny, considering its pros- 

 perity and the importance of its present 

 position. Having been founded in 1860 

 with about 150 members, the society has 

 now become a mighty organization, in-
