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-

' ' These bulbs are therefore exported 

 to all parts of the world, the United 

 States taking its full share; the demand
