Lily-Flowering Tulips 
(May-flowering) 
This is a very beautiful class of May-flowering Tulips, all of splendid constitution, 
introduced some years ago by Messrs. E. H. Krelage & Son of Haarlem. They are the 
result of crossing Cottage Tulips Retroflexa with a Darwin Tulip. They are very much 
after the style of the old Retroflexa or Elegans etc. All have reflexed petals.
