 One is fortunate if he chances to be in Holland during the tulip blooming sea- son. when miles and miles of such flow CTS with hyacinths, anemones. crocuses and lilies are grouped in every variety of color and diffuse the most delicious perfumes. Haarlem is the center of such horticulture and supplies bulbs to every country in Europe and North America. The flowers are finally cut and raked into shocks or heaps, as are our corn or wheat shocks. and left to decay, when they are used as fertilizer

It is record ed that a certain single species of flower was sold for $7o00 and one town realized in one year the sum of $5000,000 from the sale of tulip roots. Gambling in bulbs be- came such rage that the government was compelled to step in and pronounce the contracts illegal, which quelled the mania and totally ruined many specua- tors.
