HOLLAND BULB CROPS. 



The lifting of the bulbs in Holland 

 has begun as early as usual, in spite of 

 the vicissitudes through which the crops 

 passed in the early part of the season. 

 Tulips have undoubtedly suffered con- 

 siderably, first by the severely cold 

 weather after growth was well along, 

 and later by blight in the leaves. It 

 is thought the quality of the crop will 

 be satisfactory, but that the quantity 

 will be less than usual. The ripening 

 process has progressed rapidly since the 

 flowering season, because of constant 

 warm, dry weather. Young stocks of 

 hyacinths have been lifted, at least in 

 part, and the bulbs for export will fol- 

 low shortly. Growers aver that the 

 flowering qualities will be excellent, in 

 spite of some deficiency in the size of 

 the bulbs. The quantity of the crop 

 is satisfactory. Holland exporters are 

 counting on a considerable increase in 

 the demand for hyacinths because of a 

 reduction in the duty paid for admission 

 to America to one-fifth of what has been 

 paid the last two seasons.
