Speculative bubbles:

The rise and crash of the tulip

Tulips were once worth more than gold and diamonds and it all happened during the 100-year Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century.

Tulips, which had been known and cultivated in Holland as a luxury item since at least 1593, suddenly soared in price, fetching breathtaking prices.

None more so than the lovely Semper Augustus, a tulip with a beautiful variegated coloring. In the mania of tulip buying and selling that arose in 1634, until the tulip market crash in 1637, the Augustus reigned and a bulb once sold for the royal price of 3,000 guilders, about $48,000 in today’s dollars.

What neither buyers nor sellers knew at the time (and in fact wasn’t known until the 1920s), was that the Semper Augustus had red flamed stripes because the bulb was infected with a virus. The virus ‘broke’ the color, making lovely variations, but it also weakened the bulb, making it difficult, if not impossible, to propagate. Semper Augustus does not exist today, according to GardenOfEden.com.

During the three-year tulip mania in Holland, prices for all tulips skyrocketed. Lots with 40 tulip bulbs are said to have sold for the equivalent of $1 million in today’s dollars.

Like most ‘speculative bubbles,’ one day the mania just ended. In February 1637, a routine bulb auction was set to begin in the Dutch city of Haarlem and no one showed up.

Prices crashed and the bubble popped.

Blend together eggs, applesauce, honey and vanilla. Add baking soda and stir. Add remaining ingredients and stir until moist and blended. Spoon into either a 12-cup cupcake pan or into a 9”x13” baking pan. When spooning into pan, keep loose. Do not pack down. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Cool. Makes 12 servings.

Will keep in refrigerator for approximately 2 weeks.
