Barr’s Grand Darwin Tulips. 
All Single and May-flowering. 
The large breadths of these grand Darwin 
Tulips at onr Nurseries present in Hay a gorgeous 
sight and attract a great many visitors. At the 
Temple Gardens Show last May our exhibit of 
Darwin Tulips was awarded the National Tulip 
Society’s Gold Medal. 
For flower beds and borders we confidently 
recommend the following varieties 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 il/rr. Moon, 
Vitellina, Gesneriana lutea, lutea pallida, Jlava, and 
Golden Spire, etc. 
On heavy soil the bulbs should be planted 5 1° 
6 inches deep, and on light soils 6 to 7 inches. 
By gentle forcing in pots these grand Tulips 
may be had in bloom by March, and will be found 
of great value for indoor decoration on account of 
their lovely soft colours and tall stately bearing. The 
centres of many are most beautifully marked. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered 
at our Nurseries, also the order of flowering in 
relation to the flowering period of the Cottage 
Tulips, (i) being the first to open and ( 5 ) the latest.
