BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1914. 
Early Single Tulips recommended for Bedding. 
Full descriptions will be found in our General List of Early Single Tulips. 
Culture Outdoors. — Any ordinary garden soil enriched with old stable manure, with a sprinkling 
of quicklime dug in while fresh, suits the Tulip. Planting out of doors should take place from Oclolw to 
November, not earlier. On light soils the bulbs should be planted 4 to 5 inches deep ; on heavy soils 3 to 
4 inches deep. Early Single Tulips should not be planted two years running on the same piece of ground. 
Arrangement of Colours in Bedding.— The foliowing varieties if bedded together produce charming 
effects: Princess Marianne, Ophir d'Or and IVouverman ; Pottebakker White and Chrysoiora ; Prince of 
Austria, President JJncoln and Chrysoiora ; Cottage Maid and Princess Marianne ; Golden Queen and 
Thomas Moore Improved; Chrysoiora and Dusart ; Princess Ida and Rosamundi ; Rosamund! and 
Stanley ; Couteur Cardinal makes a grand show bedded by itself, but Snowdrift goes well with it ; 
Keizerskroon makes a fine bed with La Reine as an outside border. Golden Queen is a grand bedder. 
Time of Flowering.— The order of flowering is indicated by (i), (2), {3), {4), or (5) after the name. 
The difference in time of flowering between each number is not great, so that (i) and (2) may he bedded 
together, also (2) and (3), and so on. *
