BARR’S BEAUTIFUL “RAINBOW” MIXTURE OF DOUBLE TULIPS. A Special 
Mixture of beautiful ami bright colours made up by ourselves from fine named varieties, 
and will be found far superior to the ordinary Dutch mixtures for the brilliant effect they 
produce in beds and borders ; they last long in beauty, and form a valuable succession to the Early 
Single Tulips, per looo, 6o/- ; per too, 6/6 ; per doz. i/-. 
After extensive trials of Double Tulips at our Nurseries, we have selected out the 
following as being the best for garden decoration and pot-culture. Any Other vsrJetles,
