144 REPORT OF THE TULIP NOMENCLATURE COMMITTEE. 



KRELAGE'S TULIP BOOKS. 



Mr. E. H. Krelage of Haarlem possesses a most valuable collection 

 of tulip mania literature and pictures. He also has^.many sale lists, 

 and both coloured and uncoloured drawings of tulips of later periods. 



A list of many of these is given in SOLMS-LAUBACH'S bibliography 

 in " Weizen und Tulpe," pages 106-116. 



OLD ARCHIVES. 



The archives of the towns where the mania was most in evidence, 

 notably Haarlem and the Hague, contain many references to the 

 measures taken to regulate and end the sales of tulips at that period. 

 See the bibliography in SOLMS-LAUBACH'S " Weizen und Tulpe " ; also 

 the references in Murray's article in the R.H.S. JOURNAL.
