When forced the colours generally come softer. 
Generally speaking Double Tulips will not bear such early forcing as Single Tulips. The following 
torts are those we recommend for the purpose. The numbers i, 2, and 3 refer to the relative periods 
for M'hich they may be forced. For general cultural directions, see page 2.

BARR’S GENERAL LIST OF DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Plant from October to November. 
Double Tulips have m.rssive dowers of brilliant and beautifully diversided 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 dve or more, they are very attractive. Plant the bulbs four inches deep ami 
foetr to six inches apart. 
Time of Flowering. — The numbers in brackets after the name indicate the order of dowering, and 
will assist amateurs in making their selections for bedding, thus: — ( i ) corresponds in time of dowering 
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 
on page 2.
