How Tulip 3 (From Page 14) > IT WAS THE speculation as to how many offsets an , original bulb might produce that caused ttife ~ "i monetary crisis. ' - x ( 1 " Individual prices rose to Jj astronomical figures. A >, . single bulb could be worth more than $10,000. At first J » I the tulip trade was in the r hands of the professiona/ y growers. In 1634, however ,\^C- \ city merchants and others y l less affluent got "into the Y market." £ For example, a y nobleman might buy from V» a chimneysweep who ac- - r tually had no bulbs. The c nobleman would then sell C to a farmer wno really y didn't want bulbs, per se, V but wa^ planning to sell to T someone 61se, and so on. Y. AT THE PEAK of this Z bulbar business, a single y Semper Augustus bulb sold V for $50,000 with a pair of t horses and a carriage X thrown in. V ■'* By the middle of 1635, vj prices had risen steeply, all sorts of people were involv- 5 ed, and frantic trading in V futures was widespread. By 1637, conditions were ripe for a monetary collapse. Paradoxically, all this benefitted the professional growers, apparently the only ones involved who knew what they were doing. They profited from the "advertising'' as the story of tulipomania spread through the world. The Dutch growers went on to become the largest, source of flowering bulbs in the world. They still hold that distinction.

The leading American tulip growers are located around Holland. Mich, and Pella, Iowa. 1 As with all bulbous • flowers the. tulip contains its own storage compart1 ment with a food source I and modifications for ^ ' stems and leaves. "
