hyacinth and its elegant "miniature" 

 offspring, which will be shown in the 

 exhibition grounds in the most modern 

 patterns and most artistic grouping, in- 

 deed a new feature for the decoration of 

 gardens and parks. Daffodils and nar- 

 cissi are naturally grouped at the feet 

 of the old trees which are the pride of 

 the Haarlem wood. From April to the 

 end of May tulips will bloom in such 

 variety as the visitor probably will never 

 have seen in his life. And, besides, there 

 are numbers of miscellaneous bulbs, 

 rockery plants and herbaceous perennials, 

 flowering trees and shrubs, banks of rho- 

 dodendrons and azaleas along the water 

 side, and clipped trees in the French gar- 

 den. 



The temporary shows in buildings will 

 be held from March 23 to 31, April 4 to 

 12 and May 20 to 22. The international 

 jury will meet in March and April under 

 the presidency of Mr. de Marez Oyens, 

 ex-minister of commerce, and now presi- 

 dent of the Netherlands federation of 

 horticultural societies.

 of the case: 



This Is tlie time of the year for the govern- 

 ment free seed distribution. The first seeds 

 were sent out several weeks ago, and the dis- 

 tribution will continue until the planting season 

 is well over. 



This annual seed distribution lias become a 

 standing subject for Jokes. For years also there 

 has been a demand from certain sources that 

 this seed distribution be discontinued. But It 

 keeps right on. Carloads of these seeds are 

 sent out into every state and county each 

 spring. Wliy Is It kept up? 



It is claimed by many that these seeds are 

 no good. This is not wholly true. In buying 

 them the government contracts with responsible 

 Arms and pays them full price to get the best, 

 and as a rule the best are sent. Perhaps it may
