THE SILVER LINING
Coast Section Natural
fo r Bulb Raising
The coast section of Oregon,
with plenty of moisture and an
even tem perature by reason of the
Japanese current, is a natural bulb
*gion , a fact well known by the
inhabitants.
Now com es E. G.
Bates of Seaside who testifies that
the growing of bulbs comm ercially
promises a profitable Industry for
this region. Mr B ates says.
“I venture to predict, that in ten
years there will be a great bulb
Industry on Clatsop plains. A few
people have gone Into bulb rais
ing in that vicinity and have met
w ith success on a small scale. Bulb
experts from Holland have visited
Clatsop plains and say that the re
gion is ideal for the cultivation of
bulbs, and I would not be surprised
if they w ent into the business In
that section. The bulbs grow twice
as large as in any other place in
Oregon, probably because of the
sandy condition o f the soil and the
moisture. Bulb-growing is compar
atively simple. You plant the bulbs
in the fall and dig them up the fol
lowing summer, and all you have
to do is to keep out the weeds. Any
one who has visited the Oregon
coast has been Impressed with the
w ay the dahlias grow. They are
im mense and raised without d iffi
culty. So if these plants are a suc
cess, there is no reason why other
bulbs cannot be grown comm er
cially."
