Between 1630 and 1637

a tulip bulb could be

worth as much as a…

Crazy about tulips!

6

Back in those days, tulips were extremely rare and very

expensive! Only the super rich people could aord to buy

tulip bulbs. But those people did not plant them in their garden

or put them in a lovely vase in their homes. They bought the bulbs

just to sell them again for prot. That way the tulip bulbs became

more and more expensive.

Strangely enough, the people that bought the bulb didn’t actually

get to see one. They received a piece of paper that stated that

they were the owners of a tulip bulb. One day it all went com-

pletely wrong and suddenly the bulbs lost their value. Many, many

people lost their money.

In those years, people were absolutely crazy about tulips. Not

because they are such beauful owers, but because

they were worth so much. They could smell the tulip

money.

Fill in the leers that remain. Then you’ll

know what this period in history is called.

These pictures show you how tulips are grown.

Oh no! The pictures are all the wrong order.

Can you put them in the right order?

Growing a new tulip goes like this: A grower (culvator) crosses theseeds of two dierent tulips. For example a pink and an orange one.

He then culvates bulbs from the seeds. Aer five years, these bulbs

start to flower. Only then, will the grower know if he has succeeded in

creang a new tulip species with all the good qualies of the pink and

orange tulip. Creang a new tulip is an intricate job and can take up to

25 years to perfect!

Have you ever seena black tulip?

Guess what happens if you put

a white tulip into a glass with

ink or food colouring?

The tulip will drink all thecolours and the leaves will show

coloured stripes.

No? Well, that’s right! Black tulips don’t exist. However, there are dark

purple tulips that look like they’re

almost black. Which colours will you

need to create such a dark purple tulip?
