BARR’S “Gold Medal ” ENGLISH FLORIST TULIPS. 
Awarded Eight 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. They differ from the Old Dutch Tulips in the greater refinement of their 
flowers, which are of perfect goblet form, while in the case of the feathered and flamed forms the 
markings are beautifully symmetrical. All have clear centres. They are specially recommended for select 
borders and to cut for the exhibition table. 
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 middle Novemlcr, 
choosing a day when the ground is in nice friable condition ; avoid planting when the ground is wet.
