[1860-66.] ALEXANDRE DUMAS. La Tulipe Noire. Paris (?). 



A famous tale of the years 1672 to 1673, recounting the vicissitudes

 Obviously, in the opinion of Dumas, the mania did not for long, if at 

 all, interfere with the hobby of tulip-growing.

 in the first half of the nineteenth century. Prices of old varieties ;
