Comparatively few know of the in
teresting experiments that are being
carried on at the bulb garden near the
town of Bellingham, Washington, I'M
der the direction of the secretary of
agriculture.
For years the United States has
been sending to Holland and Euro
pean countries many thousands OF dol
lars annually for hyacinth, tulip, mar
cissus, and crocus bulbs. The pur-
chase of these bulbs had constantly
increased until the past year. when
over a million dollars worth were i'm
ported.
In 1908 the secretary of agriculture
decided to establish on the Pacific
coast a garden for the culture and
propagation of Holland bulbs, and a
point on Puget Sound near to the
town Of Bellingham was selected as
having suitable soil and climate for
this work. A tract Of ten acres was
leased through the Bellingham board
CT trade and the necessary buildings
erected and turned over TO the depart
nlent Of agriculture for the purpose Of
demonstrating whether or not the Hol.
land bulbs could be grown successfully
ct that point.
The department commenced work at

turn should be fed out on the farm,
and the manure restored to the soil.
BY using clover without abusing it, it
is possible TO increase the supply Of
nitrogen in the soil to almost any ex.
tent, and at the same time maintain
the other elements. These elements
In their available form are constantly
increased by the liberating OF the nj
trogen in the soil itself through the
action of frost, water and tillage; and
hence the use of clover will enable
the farmer to keep his land constantly
in very high state of fertility, while
the abuse of It will enable him to
make IL more absolutely and utterly
barren.
Clover hay~properly cured makes an
acceptable food for all stock. 1t is
not usually considered a satisfactory
hay for. the horse, the dust II carries
proving very detrimental A limited
quantity of good clover hay may, how
ever, be fed to horses of all kinds
with favorable results. If the hay is
dusty, It should be moistened with
little water before feeding.

once, and the same year planted over
10000 bulbs. From that time the
work has gone on increasing until tho
present year, when over 869,00 bulbs
We're planted. The increase in the
number of bulbs raised has been very
gratifying; each bulb yielding the
maximum number Of young ones,
which have proved equal, if not superb
or, to the results obtained in Holland.
1t is believed that bulbs can be
grown on the Pacific coast, and OF a
quality that will compare favorably
with, and in many ways surpass, the
imported article, the cost OF produc-
ton and marketing being now the
chief obstacles.
An effort is being made to over
come the differences between the
high price of labor in America and
the cheap labor Of Europe by invent
ing appliances TO lessen the hand
labor required in bulb production, and
the substitution Of horse power for
many of the operations performed
entirely by hand in Europe has re-
duced the cost of production consid-
erably. In this way it is hoped that
growers in the United States will be
able to compete successfully with the
European bulb growers.
The Yale expositor., 1912-04-11

A serious drawback 10 the produc-
ton of Holland bulbs on the coast
is the heavy expense of freight ship
ments across the continent, but when
shipment can be made by water, as
will be the case after the completion
OF the Panama canal, it should be pos
sible to deliver such bulbs at the port
Of New York almost as cheaply as
they can be brought from Europe.
Furthermore, the demand fer such
bulbs for planting on the Pacific coast
IS rapidly increaaing.
These experiments are solely for
the purpose of showing prospective
bulb growers what can be done in
growing these bulbs in the United
States. The gardens are always open
TO the public, and when the bulbs are
in bloom thousands avail them.

gardens and enjoy the flowers. At

Careful records are being kept and
much valuable information is BEING
collected in connection with the bulb
experiments which will, eventually, be
The Yale expositor., 1912-04-11

at the disposal of anyone who may
wish to take up bulb growing.
Last year very interesting exper.
iment was made on the trial grounds
of the department OF agriculture at
Washington, where test was made
of the bulbs that had been grown at
Bellingham in comparison with those
grown in Holland. Fifty bulbs Of the
same varieties of tulips were plant
ed side by side and given the same
treatment. Those from Bellingham
opened their flowers from seven to ten
days earlier than the Holland-grown
bulbs, were Of better quality in size
of flower and in color, and were re-
markable for the almost total absence
OF disease, while the imported bulbs
showed large number of diseased
plants, and many of them failed to
produce flower.
As the demand for such flower roots
is increasing rapidly and bids fair to
double in value within a few years,
it offers promising field for the in.
vestment Of American capital and the
establishment of a new and profitable
industry on the Pacific coast which
will keep at home the large amount OF
money now being sent abroad al.
nually for bulbs.

Glover is at the same time one of
