BARR’S HAY-FLOWERING SINGLE “COTTAGE” TULIPS. 
Showy and Beautiful Forms of Till i pa. Gesneriana and other Species. 
The Tulips offered under this heading are quite distinct from any other class, being mostly of a free 
.graceful habit with large flowers elegant in outline and of rich and brilliant colours. I hey are specially 
adapted for permanent borders where they should be freely planted in large clumps and masses. They may 
also be naturalized in grass, wild gardens, &c., where in the early part of May they present a gorgeous 
appearance. Those who have visited Kew Gardens in Spring will have seen these Tulips planted freely in 
grass, and also used largely in filling: large flower beds on the lawns. 
For cutting, these Tulips are greatly prized, as the stems are long and a free graceful effect can be readily 
obtained by their use. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered at our Long Difcton Nurseries this last spring. 
In flowering. Elegans and Picotce open first, followed by Fulgens, Golden Beauty , Billietiana , 
Holden Crown , Gesneriana, Macrospila, Gold flake, Buenaventura, &c., and the gorgeous Parrot Tulips and 
grand Darwin Tulips.
