Beautiful Double Tulips, Single May-flowering, Parrot, and Species of Tulips. 
BARR’S POPULAR DOUBLE TULIPS. 
• ™ ese Tuli P s have massive flowers of brilliant, and beautiful diversified colours ; are very effective 
in beds on the lawn, terrace, etc., also as edgings to Rose beds and shrubberies. Planted in groups of three 
or more in flower and shrubbery borders, they are very effective. 
For sectional lines, where the Single Tulip is planted in designs, the Tournesol, No. 575, being an early 
bloomer, is most valuable ; it is also excellent to force for early-flowering, and is extensively grown for Covent 
uarden Market. Imperator Rubrorum is the best scarlet, and Tournesol Yellow the best yellow for indoor 
decoranon. Double Tulips should be planted three bulbs in a pot, and receive the same cultural treatment as 
u ‘e .Hyacinth. In beds or large masses, Rex Rubrorum, scarlet, blended with La Candeur, white, produces an 
unrivalled effect m the spring flower garden. Plant the bulbs six inches apart.

PARROT TULIPS, WITH LACINIATED PETA (Mayflowering.) 
These have large, characteristic blossoms with curiously laciniated petals, and richly varied shades of 
beautiful colours in the same flower. They are very remarkable and exceedingly showy and effective in flower 
borders, while if grown in hanging baskets, the drooping flowers look like orchids. 
The named varieties offered are all strongest bulbs, and may reasonably be expected to flower , but as there is an un- 
accountable uncertainty in these Tulips all flowering, we advise them not to be used for filling beds , but' 
to be planted in flower borders , or naturalized.
