CONDITIONS IN HOLLAND. 



A. Van Leeuwen, Jr., of the Horti- 

 cultural Co., Worcester, Mass., has re- 

 cently returned from his European trip, 

 where he spent about ten days looking 

 over and familiarizing himself with the 

 stocks of the Alma Nurseries, Ouden- 

 bosch, Holland. He is enthusiastic 

 about the business outlook and the gen-

 germination of most seeds has been

 ciation has not accepted the federal 

 quarantine bill now before Congress 

 because the terms of the bill are liked, 

 but because they are thought to be 

 less harsh than would result from con-
