Removal G.H. Rotteveel & Zn.
Because the soil on the location in Oude-Wetering turned out to be not optimal for the cultivation of bulbs, there was started to search for a more suitable location. This was found in 'het Langeveld', which was an area of dunes in this period.
By digging of this dune area, the soil became perfectly suitable for the cultivation of several varieties of bulbs.
Henk Rotteveel established the first new company in this area on the Langevelderlaan under the name of G.H. Rotteveel & Zn in this period. Narcissus and Tulips where cultivated and especially Narcissus received special attention and was breeded frequently.
