entirely dependent for fresh stock upon the OH
shoots which the parent bulbs annually produce.
In the case Of hyacinths a kindly provision OF ma
ture has made the propagation of bulbs in large
numbers an extremely simple matter. Each ses-
son the grower selects a number OF his largest
hyacinth bulbs aud sets these aside for the pur-
pose OF increasing his stock. Tho bulbs are tech
nically known AZ mothers and In dealing with
them one OF the two methods II adopted-cross-
ing and scooping. In tho case Of tho former the

away from the bulb strange thing happens. At
the base OF each mother bulb number OF tiny

its unquestioned supremacy as the bub-producing
country Of the world. The reason for this may be
found in two circumstances. Firstly. the age OF
the industry, which has given the growers such
grasp of the whole subject to give them great
advantage over more recent competitors. and, In
the second place. the out and out suitability of the

one finds the bulbs which are in their sixth or

planting is followed in the case OF both tulips and
narciss although in these instances the length
OF the time to produce a mature bulb is not so
great But ones curiosity Is excited as to how
the original bulbs obtained and this question
opens up one OF the most interesting chapters In
