The Sacred Lily of China, Sweet-Scented Jonquils, Early Single Tulips. 
best cultivated and largest developed blooms " Grapd Emperor." In China and Japan the bulbs are grown in the 
living rooms in fancy bowls filled simply with pebbles and water, and the natives compete with one another in 
growing the finest specimens for their New Year's Festiva 1 , successful culture being regarded as an emblem of 
“Good Luck." The bulb in this country can be grown as successfully as in China, and it is most interesting to 
watch its rapid growth, something like 20 inches in forty days, in a sunny window by day, and on a table near 
the fireplace by night, as frost destroys the flower buds. The natural atmosphere of a warm greenhouse suits 
the flower well. Fuller particulars of culture sent with the bulbs.

BARR’S BEAUTIFUL HARDY DAFFODILS (Narcissi). 
The most beautiful and popular of all Spring flowers. See page 25 for a descriptive list of some 
fine distinct inexpensive varieties. 
SWEET-SCENTED JONQUILS. 
The Double and Single Jonquils aie prized for their graceful sweet-scented flowers in or out of doors. For 
indoor decoration three to six bulbs should be grown in a 4 or 5-inch pot, and cultivated the same as the Hya- 
cinth, in all respects, whether for early flowering or succession. If planted out-doors and treated the same as 
hardy Daffodils, a long succession of sweet-scented flowers for room decoration may be maintained. p er doz.

BARR’S POPULAR TULIPS. 
Our Single and Double Tulips were awarded First Prize at the Great International Horticultural 
Exhibition, London, 1892 . 
The Tulip is extremely hardy, and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine, and 
producing as fine flowers in a confined town garden, as in more favoured places. Double and single Tulips, 
when mixed together and planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display than if either are planted 
separately. In gardens where the flower beds must be kept gay from the earliest dawn of Spring, plant between 
the lines of Tulips, Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxa, Snowdrops, or Crocuses ; these flower first, and when out of 
bloom the leaves form a green groundwork for the blossoms of the Tulip. 
BARR’S POPULAR EARLY SINGLE ITU PS. 
Those alone who have massed the different varieties of Single Tulips (planting the bulbs 5 inches apart) 
can form an idea of their great beauty and the rich diversity in shade and colour, or the grand effect they produce 
grouped in flower beds and borders. The Single Tulip is extensively grown for indoor decoration (three or five 
bulbs in a pot), and cultivated in the same way as the Hyacinth for early-flowering and succession. 
A 3 T The varieties of the Due Van Thol Tulip, Nos. 618 to 622 , flower together very early , which renders 
them valuable where an early Spring display is required. For early-lorcing, to bloom with the Roman 
Hyacinth, Double Roman and Paper White Narcissi, etc., No. 517 is extensively used.
