BARR’S DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Plant from October to November- 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautifully diveisified 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 five or more, tliey are very attractive. Plant the bulbs four inches deep and 
four to six inches apart. 
Time of Flowering. — The numbers in brackets after the name indicate the order of flowering, and 
will assist amateurs in making their selections for bedding, thus:— (i) corresponds in time of flowering 
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 pace i. ^ 
DOUBLE TULIPS SUITABLE FOR FORCING.i 
To force for earliest decoration, say January, Salvator Rosa may be used ; the other varieties do not 
force successfully so early. 
For decoration from the end of January to early March we can recommend the following sorts 
CouronneePOr, El Toreador, Imperator Rubrorum, Lady Palmerston, Murillo, Princess Beatnce, T mrnesol, 
Tournesol Yellow, and Titian. , . ^ , 1. • a 
For late forcing, to produce blooms from end of March to early April the following kinds should 
be grown : — Couronne d'Or, Imperator Rubrovum, La Candeur, Le Matador, Murillo, Tournesol, and 
Tournesol Yellow.
