Horticulture has had an important share in the national economy of the Netherlands for several centuries and many of the latest developments are of interest to gardeners and horticulturists in this country.
The outstanding centre for flower growing is Aalsmeer where roses, carnations, and the forcing of lilacs are of the greatest importance. In addition, chrysanthemums, sweet peas, freesias, dahlias, Japanese lilies, and pot plants are grown.
Roy Hay visits the experimental station for floriculture and is shown round by the Director and his staff.
