BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1915 . 
TULIPS, MAY-FLOWERING COTTAGE —continued. 
Culture.— The bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep on heavy soils, and 6 to 7 inches deep on 
light soils. If planted too shallow they are apt to come blind. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered at our Nurseries, but these will vary somewhat 
according to richness or poverty of soil. 
Time of Flowering. — The Cottage Tulips take up the succession of flowering as the Early Single 
and Double Tulips are going out of bloom. As far as possible we have indicated the order of flowering 
by ( 1 ), (2), and so on. (1) will correspond in time of flowering with (5) of the Early Single and Double 
Tulips. The Parrot Tulips bloom together with those marked (2), and the Darwin with those marked (3) 
and (4) in the following lists. 
The prefix * indicates those Tulips which may be bad in bloom about the middle of March by gentle 
forcing in pots.
