The onion was a tulip bulb and the good Hol-

the ordinary business OF the country left TO

They speculated in bulbs just as people speculate

money sold their houses and lands. and because so
many wanted sell the price fell TO much

but that estimate based the dried mush-

extend their quantity by the addition OF other
food materials, with the meats and fish. Beet
tops can be cooked as greens, and served with
