BARR’S EARLY DOUBLE TULIPS FOR FORCING. 
10" For full descriptions^ see General List of Early Double Tulips. 
When forced the colours generally come softer. 
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.

BARR’S GENERAL LIST OF DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Plant from October to November. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautifully diversified colours, and are very 
effective in beds on lawns, terraces, etc., also as edgings to beds of Roses and Rhododendrons and to shrub- 
beries. Planted in groups of five or more, they are very attractive. Plant the bulbs four inches deep and 
four to six inches apart. 
Time of Flowering.— The numbers in brackets after the name indicate the order of flowering, and 
will assist amateurs in making their selections for bedding, thus:-(l) corresponds in time of flowering 
with (i) of the Single Tulips; (2) corresponds with (2) of the Single Tulips, and so on. The heights, 
as registered at our Nurseries, are given in inches. By a judicious selection of Double and Single Tulips, 
a display of brilliant colours may be maintained in the garden for a long period. 
Double Tulips should be planted three bulbs in a pot, and receive the cultural treatment recommended 
\ page 2.
