BARR'S BEAUTIFUL “ENGLISH AMATEUR” TULIPS. 
>7 
single bulbs range from is. each! Surely, then, there is a chance for all amateurs to start with a bed of show 
Tulips at a comparatively trifling cost. 
"Mr. Barr appears also to be determined, now that be has possessed himself with about thirty thousand 
bulbs of the Show Tulip, that they shall not be kept to himself in his own grounds, for I see that he is, in 
conjunction with Mr. James W. Bentley (Hon. Sec. of the Royal National Tulip Society), arranging for a show 
to be held in London next year in May, to suit the growers of the South, and, as far as possible, the Northern 
and Midland Counties growers. Silver medals will be offered by Messrs. Barr & Son and by Mr. Bentley. 
There is thus a favourable opportunity for all Tulip cultivators, and especially new beginners in the south, to 
put their 'shoulders to the wheel' in supporting the great efforts of Mr. Barr, in his anxiety to resuscitate 
in the neighbourhood and suburbs of London this old and glorious variety of florists' flowers, and which our 
grandfathers and great-grandfathers cultivated with pride and abundant love ! 
" There can be no question as to the situation around London being favourable to the cu’tivation of the 
Tulip, which the specimens exhibited last May. at the Drill Hall, by Dr. Hogg, Messrs. Barr & Son, and other 
southern growers fully corroborated. I have been a grower and exhibitor for nearly forty years, but last year 
was the first London show of Tulips I had ever had the p'easure of witnessing, and never previously had I seen 
such magnificently grown Tulips as those exhibited by Dr. Hogg and Messrs. Barr & Son, and the refinement 
in markings of Feathered Talisman, Sir Joseph Paxton, and Doctor Hardy, exhibited by Messrs. Barr, was as 
near perfection as possible.— James Thurstan, The Green, Cannock .” — Gardening World, Dec. nth, 1894.
