hyacinth bulba of the Netherlands is the 



United Kingdom, which purchased 13,- 



950,200 pounds in 1907. Germany and 



ijAu8|ria ^together bought 8,728,720 



■potmdsiir 9orway, Sweden and Denmark, 



^,307;36b pounds, and Russia, 793,100 



pounds. 



"As an indication of the growth of 

 this branch of Dutch agriculture, and as 

 a demonstration of the regular increase 

 in the demand for Dutch bulbs, it may 

 be stated that the exports in 1897 were 

 only 12,543,955 pounds. The advance 

 since that time has averaged over 2,000,- 

 000 pounds a year. ' '

The Market 



^^^ 



The market has dropped to a low 

 point. Tuesday saw the counters of 

 the Exchange loaded with stock of all 

 kinds, especially mums and roses, and 

 a thin rank of buyers in attendance; all 

 this in the face of a season replete with 

 unusually brilliant social functions. No 

 one ventures a prediction as to the im- 

 mediate future. The prolonged autumn 

 weather has had much to do with the 

 situation, and the products of growers 

 might be considered prolific. Prices are 

 overlooked until a clearing out is impera- 

 tive. Ordinary concessions do not seem 

 to influence demands. 



The chrysanthemum naturally leads at 

 this time, and, on the whole, prices are 

 far below last season's prices. With an 

 influx of roses greater than the market 

 can absorb, there is considerable sacri- 



Lycoris Squamiger^ 



A ■wjr '*^^' : . t ■ OF AJLryUis HalUi. i^> ,; ■ : :J:'.y\, I'^.^W^ 

 A perfectly Hardy Amaryllis, producins: beautiful pink flowers. 



DCSCRIPTION:— Lycoris Squamlgera produces In early spring attractive green 

 foliage which grows until July, when it ripens off and disaopears, and one not familiar with 

 its habits would think the bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower 

 stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel of large and 

 beautiful lily-shaped flowers, 3 to 4 inches across and from 8 to 12 in number, of a delicate 

 lilac-pink, shaded with clear blue. 



CDLTURK:— As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection, it can be planted 

 either in the fall or spring, but we consider fall the best time, as the bulbs will have splendid 

 chance to get established before flowering time. Cover the crown about 4 inches. 



Very useful for the hardy border or among shrubbery.
