This is not a scene in Holland. It is a portion of 
the tulip gardens of the Oregon Bulb Company, near 
Salem, Oregon. 
People said it couldn’t be done, but the Oregon Bulb 
Company did it. They now have acres and acres of 
tulips, producing bulbs as fine as ever came from 
Holland. At our request they have written the fol¬ 
lowing article, which should prove an inspiration, not 
only to those thinking of growing tulips, but also to 
any who are considering the growing of other bulbs 
and plants, for the supply of which we have so long 
depended on foreign countries.
