Our Own Holland Nurseries 
Painstakingly we prepare the soil in our fields, often spading it by hand 
to a depth of 30 inches. During the entire growing period, our men 
constantly go from bed to bed and from field to field, watching for the 
first sign of disease which may develop and nip it in the bud, thus pre¬ 
venting its spreading beyond control and doing untold damage. When a 
diseased bulb is found, it is immediately removed together with the bulbs 
growing within a radius of 1 foot. The soil is also carefully taken away. 
Culture of Hyacinth bulbs is expensive and propagation slow. It is 
only through constant watchfulness and attention that high quality bulbs 
can be produced.
