BARR’S 
Beautiful “Cottage” Tulips and Tulip Species 
(All Single and mostly May-Flowering). 
The name Cottage Tulips we have given to the various beautiful May-flowering Tulips which 
have mostly been found growing in old cottage gardens in England, Scotland, and Ireland, where they 
have been in some cases for over fifty years. They are all very beautiful, presenting a great variety in 
form and colouring, and having none of the stiffness of other Tulips. On account of their extreme 
hardiness they are specially adapted for permanent hardy flower borders, where they should be freely 
planted in large clumps and masses. They may also be naturalised in grass, wild gardens, etc., where 
during May they present a gorgeous appearance. The bulbs should be planted an inch or two deeper 
than the Early Single and Double Tulips. Those who have visited Kew Gardens in Spring will have 
noticed these Tulips planted freely in grass, and also used largely in filling Jlower beds on the lawns. 
For cutting they are greatly prized, as the stems are long and a free graceful effect can be readily 
obtained by their use. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered at our Surbiton 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. 
(gp Those Tulips marked 4 > are species and gems for choice corners in the rock garden, where 
their lovely flowers will delight the eyes of all who see them.
