BULB GROWING IN HOLLAND. 



Consul-general S. Listoe, of Rotter- 

 dam, makes the following interesting, 

 though perhaps somewhat prejudiced, 

 statements in regard to the rapidly grow- 

 ing Dutch bulb trade: 



"An industry characteristic of the 

 Netherlands is the growing of tulip and 

 hyacinth bulbs. Attempts have been 

 made in several parts of the world to 

 grow these, but nowhere can the experi- 

 ment be said to have been successful, as 

 the proper kind of soil for the propaga- 

 tion of perfect bulbs seems only to ex- 

 ist in the small space of territory be- 

 tween the cities of Leyden and Haarlem. 

 This stretch of country is in reality the 

 bottom of the old Haarlem Sea (Haar- 

 lemmer Meer), which was laid dry about 

 the year 1852, and this sea-bottom soil, 

 a combination of sand and decomposed 

 vegetables and plants, appears to be the

 bulbs mentioned. 



"These bulbs are therefore exported 

 to all parts of the world, the United 

 States taking its full share; the demand 

 is constantly increasing, and in conse- 

 quence of this fact an increased area is 

 from year to year set apart and devoted 

 solely to the cultivation of bulbs. The 

 statistics for 1906, the latest available, 

 give this' area as 4,058 hectares, equal 

 to 10,027 acres. 



"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 exports were 26,180,000 pounds, the
