ture for canning. Often the only avail- 

 able use of such get-away crops is as 

 seed, and they are sold as such, and 

 being in the nature of salvage the can- 

 ners are glad to dispose of them at any 

 price they can get. Occasionally truck- 

 ers' crops are disposed of in a similar 

 way. 



Seedsmen do not advertise their use 

 of get-away crops, many of them claim- 

 ing that they never use such crops, but 

 many carloads of this kind of seed are 

 sold every year, and a part of it gets 

 into the hands of some of our most 

 reputable seedsmen. This practice can 

 not fail to have a bearish effect upon 

 the price paid for growing special seed 

 crops. 



DUTCH BX7LB INDUSTBY. 



The bulb business in Holland dates 

 back to about 1750, though the most rapid 

 development has been in the last thirty 

 years. The bulb-growing industry was 

 first confined to Haarlem and its vicin- 

 ity, but has gradually extended where- 

 ever a suitable piece of land was avail- 

 able. In order to grow bulbs, meadows 

 have been transformed and sand dunes 

 leveled. The preparation of land for 

 this purpose is often costly, and the 

 value of the best plots varies from 

 £320 to £500 ($1,557 to $2,433) an acre. 



The export statistics of the industry, 

 which have been carefully kept since 

 1897, show that the total export has 

 largely increased in the last ten years. 

 The value of this export cannot now be 

 less than £800,000 ($3,893,200). 



England is still Holland's best cus- 

 tomer for bulbs, taking nearly forty
