For early flowering pot the bulbs as soon as received, and plunge the pots in a temperature

growth ; in either case the temperature should not be below 50 degrees, or the bulbs will suffer.

Barr’s Famous Tulips. 
AWARDED 
Six Gold Medals by the Royal National Tulip Society, and many other 
High Awards at the London Spring Flower Shows. 
Tulips are extremely hardy, and of easy culture, flowering freely in either sunny or shady 
situations, and developing their handsome showy flowers even in a confined town garden. By 
a judicious selection of Single, Double, and May-flowering Tulips, a most brilliant display of 
colours may be maintained in the garden from early April to end of May. In gardens where 
the flower beds must be kept gay from the earliest dawn of Spring, plant between the Tulips 
Scilla sibirica, Chionodoxas, Snowdrops, and Crocuses ; these flower first, and when out of 
bloom the leaves form a charming green groundwork for the blossoms of the Tulip. Our 
large breadths of Tulips at the Surbiton Nurseries in Spring create much comment, and 
elicit the greatest admiration from all who see them. See Illustration on back cover. 
BARR’S EARLY SINGLE TULIPS FOR FORCING. 
The following varieties of Early Single Tulips are the most suitable for forcing. As failures in 
forcing Tulips and other bulbs is generally due to bringing the pots into warmth too early or before 
the bulbs have rooted sufficiently, we have given on page 2 a few practical hints on general treat- 
ment which if followed will produce satisfactory results. 
(1) Indicates those varieties which should be used for earliest forcing to come in at Christmas and early 
January. 
(2) Varieties for second-early forcing to come in from end of January to early March. 
(3) Varieties for later forcing to come in from middle of March to early April.
