HOLLAND BULB TRADE IMMENSE.
Over 10000 Acres Devoted to RslsIuu
Tulips and Hyaclnths.

An industry characteristic Of the
Netherlands is the raising Of tulip
and hyacinth bulbs. Attempts have
been made in several parts Of the
world to grow these, but nowhere can
the experiment be said to have been
successful, as the proper kind Of soil
for propagation of perfect bulbs seems
only to exist in the small space OF ter
ritory between the cities OF Leyden
and Harlem.
This stretch Of country is In reality
the bottom of the old Haariem sea,
which was laid dry about the year
1852, and this sea-bottom dirt, com.
bination of sand and decomposed yege
tables and plants. appears to be the
only soil capable of producing the
flower bulbs mentioned.
These bulbs are exported to all parts
of the world; the demand is constantly
increasing, and an increased area -
from year to year set apart to the cur
tivation of bulbs. The statistics for
1906, the latest available, give this
area as 4,05S hectares, equal to lo.VsI
acres.

filled with romance, history. biography
