BARR’S DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Bulbs of Finest Quality Only. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautifully diversified colours, and are very effective 
in beds on lawns, terraces, etc., also as edgings to beds of Roses and Rhododendrons and to shrubberies. Planted 
in groups of five or more, they are very attractive. Plant the bulbs four to six inches apart. 
Ti me of F lowering. — The numbers in brackets after the name indicate the order of flowering, and will 
assist amateurs in making thei r selections fo r bedding, thus: — (1) corresponds in time of flowering with (1) 
of the Single Tulips ; (2) corresponds wit h (2) of the Single Tulips, and so on. The heights, a s registered at 
our Nurseries this last Spring, are given in inches. By a judicious select ion of Double and Single Tulips, a 
display of brilliant colours may be maintain ed in the garden for a long period. 
Double Tulips should be planted three bulbs in a pot, and receive the same cultural treatment as the 
Hyacinth.
