The Bulb Industry of Holland. Paper read by H. J. Schoening. before the Montreal . Gardeners' and Florists' Club, Oc- tober 3, 1910. At this season of the year, when you are all handling Dutch bulbs, it oc- curred to me that a brief description of their cultivation by the Dutch grow- ers might prove interesting. Before proceeding, 1 would like to state that it is now about '2, years since I was connected with the industry in Hol- land, and I have no doubt different methods have been introduced since, but I do not think the general culture has materially altered. Most people, when they hear about Dutch bulbs, naturally assume that the whole country is devoted to their cul- ture. As a matter of fact, but a very small area is used It extends about from Leiden to Haarlem, an area of approximately 125 square miles, and is situated just behind the dunes. These dunes, you all know, are the natural protectors from the sea. They are a range of sandy hills along the North Sea, and prevent the sea from over- flowing the land. The ground in which the bulbs are grown is in many parts more like sand than soil. It is so light that the grow- ers, during dry and windy weather, have to spread diluted cow manure over it, which, when dry, forms a thin cake and prevents the soil from blow- ing away. Owing to its low situation it is also very wet, and at about three feet water is found. Here are two of the main requisites for bulb culture, light soil and abundant moisture. Also there are hardly ever any hailstorms in this district which is very impor- tant. The net result is, a site for bulb culture, which is practically beyond competition. The whole district has be- come a vast bulb farm, and the land is more valuable than any equal area of such poor soil in the world. You will, of course, understand that such po
