BARR’S “GOLD MEDAL” ENGLISH FLORIST TULIPS. 
Awarded Six Gold Medals by the Royal National Tulip Society. 
These beautiful May-flowering English Tulips have been prized by all lovers of the true Florist’s 
Flower for over a century, although of late years the number of growers has diminished. The flowers 
are of perfect goblet form, and their beautiful and symmetrical markings quite unique. 
Culture of English Tulips. — Any good loamy garden soil suits the “ English Tulip.” The bulbs 
should be planted four inches deep and four inches apart, from the end of October to early in November, 
choosing a day when the ground is in nice friable condition ; avoid planting when the ground is wet. 
Hints to Exhibitors and Tulip Amateurs. — As the English Tulip often suffers much from hail 
and wind during Spring, it is a good plan, when choice named sorts are grown, to erect over the bed 
a skeleton framework on which a covering of calico or white canvas is fastened in February or March, 
leaving the sides open till the buds show colour, when the covering may be brought down over the sides
