FLORAL PAGEANTRY

Bulbland Displays.

NEW YORK, March l9.-Spring u
just coming round the corner in the
bulblands Of Western Europe and grips
are beoing packed on this side of the
Atlantic ready for the rush of tourists
which will begin at the end Of March.
From today up to the middle of
April ~ transatlantic liners will leave
American and Canadian ports with
passengers intent on seeing the lands
where the tulip reigns, where the
hyacinth and the narcissus cover

GRANGE.
Travellers who have Joined these
pilgrimages to the flowers say that
the lure Of ancient castles and Old
World pageants is as nothing to the
thrill OF seeing thousands OF acres
with bulbs in bloom. Long before the
trains pull into the towns and villages
where the flowers grow the fragrance
comes through the air.
There are at least three bulblands
OF renown which attract most trans
Atlantic visitors. Holland has long
held an outstanding place and is prob
ably the best known. In the lowlands
near Aalsmeer, which long ago were
reclaimed from the sea, one finds huge
gardens stretching for miles patch
worked with bulbs, white, blue and
pink, with many shades akin. At
Aasmeer is a flower market hall and
the canals flow through the center OF
the building. enabling the market men
to load and unload the blooms on
their way from the bulb acres to the
sea, whose ships take them to cities
afar, particularly London, Berlin and
Paris. The greatest acreage is about
Harlem and Heemstede
Over the border in Belgium the
second great bulb region of Europe
is found, centering chiefly at Ghent.
The worlds first hothouse was built
at Ghent 800 years Ago and the city's
interest in flowers has grown steadily
since, until today 1t holds nearly 4
thousand nurseries. whose floral ex-
ports. like those of Holland, 40 to
