WORK IN HOLLAND. 



The Holland bulb growers have been 

 favored by unusually fine weather for 

 their annual planting and the work has 

 been pushed along earlier than usual. No 

 accurate information is available as to 

 the quantities planted, but of narcissi it 

 is undoubtedly less than usual, for there 

 has been little profit in these the last 

 few years, and in spite of l«wer prices 

 made to clear there is a surplus this sea- 

 son. Hyacinths have sold out clean and 

 the growers are anxious to get a large 

 crop in 1909. Contrary to the expecta- 

 tions of some who were disturbed by the 

 cutting down of orders by forcers in 

 America, and by slack business condi- 

 tions in other countries, tulips have 

 cleaned up well at satisfactory prices, 

 only a few of the higher-priced sorts be- 

 ing left in the hands of most of the 

 growers. Shipments, of course, are now 

 at an end. 



Holland commenced to export bulbs in 

 considerable quantities at about the mid- 

 dle of the eighteenth century, and the 

 industry has not only increased continu- 

 ously since that time, but recent returns 

 prove that the volume of trade is greater 

 now than in any previous year. Exact 

 returns have been published since 1897, 

 in which year the total exports were 

 5,701,798 kilograms (kilogramme = 

 2.2046 pounds). In 1907 the exports 

 were 15,277,400 kilograms. According 

 to the published figures. Great Britain 

 and Ireland take forty per cent of the 

 exports, Germany twenty-five per cent, 

 the United States eighteen per cent, the 

 northern European countries nine per 

 cent, and France and other Latin coun- 

 tries five per cent. It is estimated that 

 there are upwards of 2,000 growers of 

 bulbs, and 150 of these are exporters, 

 who are organized as the Dutch Bulb 

 Exporters' Association, of which S. 

 Kruyff is president.
