BARR’S EARLY DOUBLE TULIPS FOR FORCING. 
Generally speaking Double Tulips will not bear such early forcing as Single Tulips. The following 
sorts are those we recommend for the purpose. The numbers i, 2, and 3 refer to the relative periods 
for which they may be forced. For general cultural directions, see page 2. 
(i) Indicates those varieties which may be forced to come in the middle of January; (2) those to 
come in from end of January to early March ; and (3) the varieties to come in at end of March and 
early April. 
Full descriptions will be found in our General List of Double Tulips.
