Barr’s Beautiful “ENGLISH AMATEUR” Tulips. —May-flowering’. 
Awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society a Flora Medal , May, 1893, and again 1894. 
Awarded at the Temple Show, the Royal Horticultural Society’s Silver Cup, May 25th, 1893. 
These beautiful Tulips in the South of England commence flowering according to the earliness or lateness of 
the season, from the first to the last week in May, and may be enjoyed for a month. The “ English Tulip” is 
pre-eminently an amateur’s flower, and has been so for upwards of 300 years. Amateurs who may be induced 
to take \fp Tulip culture should read the following extract from the Manchester Guardian , 2nd June, 1892, from 
the pen of the late Mr. Samuel Barlow, one of the greatest authorities on “ English Amateur ” Tulips: — 
“The best Amateur Tulips known to exist, or that have ever existed, have been raised in England, 
principally in the Northern counties — Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire. Over forty years ago the late 
Dr. Hardy, of Warrington, in a series of papers to the Midland Florist, completely settled all the points of 
excellence which go to make a first-class Florist Tulip, and his definitions have never since been disputed. 
Since then the cultivation of Florist Tulips has much improved, especially in the three counties named, although, 
singular to say, it has almost died out in the South of England, where, fifty years ago, the most enthusiastic 
Tulip growers made London their centre for exhibitions. There are. distinct evidences now of a revival of 
interest in the South of this grand old flower, and 1 hope that the Exhibitions of the Royal National Tulip 
Society will give additional stimulus to the cultivation and love for this fascinating flower.” 
Our Collection is large of “ English Amateur” New Florists’ Tulips, and, together with Old Scotch and 
Dutch varieties, about 20,000 bulbs will be planted this Autumn, and the flowers may be seen during May, J895, 
at our Long Ditton Nurseries, a few minutes’ walk from Surbiton Station, on the South Western Rail. 
A Detailed List of a select few of these “ English Amateur ” Tulips will be found in our Daffodil Catalogue, 
together with further notes and information. The assortments offered below we recommend to those about to 
become “Tulip Amateurs.”
