OUR FUTURE DUTCH GARDENS. 



"Uncle Jim" Wilson has sent out 

 from the Agricultural Department a 

 press notice to the effect that Uncle 

 Sam is in a fair way to become a bulb 

 grower to rival the Dutchman. He 

 wants the country to know all about 

 the garden near the town of Belling- 

 ham, Wash., where bulbs are being 

 grown "under the direction of the Sec- 

 retary of Agriculture." For years, we 

 are told, the United States has been 

 sending to Holland and European coun- 

 tries many thousands of dollars annu- 

 ally for hyacinth, tulip, narcissus and 

 crocus bulbs, but that hereafter it is 

 likely that much of this money will be 

 kept at home. 



It was in 1908 that the government 

 decided to establish a garden on the 

 Pacific coast for the cultivation and 

 propagation of Holland bulbs. A tract 

 of ten acres was leased and the neces- 

 sary buildings were erected for the pur- 

 pose of demonstrating whether or not 

 the industry could be prosecuted suc- 

 cessfully. This year 869,000 bulbs were 

 planted, and it is said that the results 

 obtained are superior to those of which 

 Holland can boast. 



A comparative test recently was 

 made of the bulbs which had been 

 grown in Bellingham. Fifty bulbs of 

 the same varieties of tulips which are 

 propagated in Holland were planted 

 side by side with an equal number of 

 imported bulbs. Those grown at Bel- 

 lingliam opened their flowers from 

 seven to ten days earlier than those 

 from Holland, and they were declared 

 to be of larger size and finer color. 

 Among the American-grown tulips there 

 was a total absence of disease, while
