I'' -Mayfliiwer, for nobody knew ex- 



■ily how ihey looked and therefore the 



I'roductidii might be taken as a most 



'iiijiie imitation of either. Neither 



'■ Half Moon nor the Mayflower had 



'li|)s nl)oard ;iiid Mr. Krelage suggested 



'' liital abolition of the duty on bulbs, 



-idling that the abolition of the duty 



'■'lid i(c to the profit of all American 



'Zens, siiic-e they would be able to have 



' 'iip flowers in every garden. Flowers 



'le the symbol.'^ of love and faith and 



• 'lee, and the more the flowers of Hol- 



■'iid were spread over the world, the more 



''"'}' Would bo mighty coiiperators, elo- 



! i*'nt interpreters and active propagan- 



i-^ts of Mr. Roosevelt's noble ideas, to 



■"•'fit humanity. 



-^Ir. Koosevell. in his re|)ly, kept clear 



' 'he duty question and paid a tribute 



" I>utch ability to combine hard work 



'111 appreciation of the beautiful, and 



'''i'd that Americans, working so hard 



"I the past, felt that in case of neces.sity 



''i.i'>yment mu.-st be sacrificed to work. 



^Jieoch-making over, Mr. Roosevelt en- 



".ved himself in the exhibition grounds, 



^Ii'. Krelage explaining the objects of the 



^liibition and directing attention to the 



'":iin features. 



At the time (tf my last report, the prin- 



cipal aftractiniis were in the buildings, 

 but May 1 the outdoor exhibits were 

 probably at their }>est. notably the nar- 

 cissi from De (iraalV Bros.. Leiden, which 

 included a number of new varietie.-^. sutdi 

 as (iolden Jubilee. :i splendid giant yel- 

 low; I'ncle Robert, a rem.arkabiy large 

 white, and Princess ,Iuli;iii;i, a refined 

 deep yellow. 



The {{"einstede Association of Bulb 

 (iidwcrs ]H0(iuced .a lo\eIy effect with 

 beds of hyacinths, as did also the Llsse 

 Association with hyacinths and tulips. >.'. 

 Dame.', of Lis-e. was a most successful 

 exhibitor with beds of hyacinths, includ- 

 ing a bed of a new deep rose col(>red 

 \ariety. Be "N'ictoire, edged with another 

 novelty, Arentine H. Arendsen, a pretty 

 dwarf growing wliite. 



Creditable disjjlays of beds of bulbs in 

 \ariety were also in full bloom from M. 

 Van Waveren & Son, Hillegom; J. .1. 

 Orullemans & Sons, Bisse; Warnaar & Co.. 

 Sassenheim ; S. A. Van Konijnenberg & 

 Co.. Noordwijk, and Ant. Roosen & Son. 

 Haarlem. 



The most notable exhibits of shrubs 

 and conifers were from C. B. Van Nes & 

 Sons. Boskoop. es[)ecially their new 

 rhododendron. Princess Juliana; Kers- 

 bergen Bros., Boskoop, a choice collec- 

 tion of seedling azaleas; Wezelenburg & 

 Co.. Hazcrswonde, forced flowering shrubs 

 in variety, and J. Hardizer, Boskoop, 

 rhododendrons and conifers. 



C. C. Van Tubergon, Jr., Haarlem, re- 

 cei\eil the highest gold medal awarded at 

 the second temporary show, for a pretty 

 flower garden with ])eds of Darwin tulii)s, 

 color(>d freesias, anenu)ncs, liliunis, etc. 

 Other notable features were the rhodo- 

 dendrons from Koster & Son, Boskoop; 



.iiiKiryllis tioiu \'aii X'elsen I'.ros. aiul A. 

 \V. Ingenlioes Van Schaik; superb hy- 

 drangeas from D. Baardze, Aalsineer, and 

 lilies from 1 ). ^: J. Keeseii, .\alsmcer. 



Keisbergeii Bros, made a grand dis 

 play with th(> ])olyantiia rose, Boskoop 

 Baby, as di<l also A. \'aii Deyl with 

 Azalea Indica. Oosthoek & Co. 's hollies 

 from Boskoop, in vari(Uis sizes, were re- 

 niark.-ible for the iirot'usion of berries 

 \\hi(di they carried. 



'i"he foregoing are only ;i l\'w of the 

 exhil)its to be seen at this remarkable 

 exhibition, which for variety, extent and 

 duration has probably never been eijualed 

 l>y any exhibition solely devoted to horti- 

 culture. -Xo one can form an idea of its 

 extent and beauty without actually visit- 

 ing it, and, once seen, Haarlem's Jubilee 

 Show will remain in one's memory for- 

 ever. Bee.
