BARR’S GRAND DARWIN TULIPS 
All Single and May-flowering 
As grown at our Surbiton Nurseries, and exhibited at the London May Flower Shows, where 
their grand stately flowers elicit the admiration of all. On May, 20th, 1908 our exhibit of 
these was awarded the Royal Botanic Society’s Gold Medal. 
See Illustration on back cover. 
For flower beds and borders we confidently recommend the following Darwin Tulips for their stately 
bearing and rich colours. They have been specially selected as being distinct, showy, and beautiful, so 
that buyers need have no hesitation in choosing the colours they require, as all are good. The cut flowers 
form an elegant decoration for vases, and last a long time in water. The lighter lilac and heliotrope 
coloured varieties blend charmingly with yellow “ Cottage ’* Tulips such as Mrs. Moon, Vitellina , 
Gesneriana lutea and lutea pallida, Jlava, Yellow Queen, etc.
