A city in the province of North Holland in the northwest of the Netherlands. It is located in the centre of the reclaimed land of the old Lake Haarlem southwest of Amsterdam, and faces the Ringvaart (canal) and the West Eindersee. As the centre of floriculture in the Netherlands, it has two flower markets and is also home to the National Horticultural Experiment Station. The older part of the town is on peat bog land close to sea level, but the rest is on clay polders (reclaimed land) below sea level. It produces and exports cut flowers such as carnations, roses, lilacs and freesias, as well as potted plants such as cyclamens and begonias. Population: 22,118 (estimated 1992).
