BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1900. 
TULIPS (EARLY SINGLE) —continued. 
Hints as to the arrangement of Early Tulips in beds, &e.— A difficulty is often experienced 
by Amateurs in knowing what kind of Tulips to select to bed together, seeing that they are not all the 
same height, and that some are earlier in flower than others. For the assistance, therefore, of purchasers 
we have taken special observations at our Nurseries as to the heights and the order in which the Early 
Single and Double Tulips flower. 
The Heights we g ive in inches, and the order of flowering is indicated by (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) 
after The name. It will be noticed that the Double Tulips generally are a little later-flowering than the 
Singles. The difference in time of flowering between each number is not great, so that (1) and (2) may be 
bedded together, also (2) and ( 3), and so on. The varieties of Due Van ThOl are not numbered, a s 
they flower before any of the others. 
Arrangement of Colours in Bedding. - The following varieties if bedded together produce 
charming effects : Princess Marianne , Ophir tPOr and Wouverman ; Pottebakker White and Chrysolora ; 
Prince of Austria , President Lincoln and Chrysolora ; Rose Grisdcline and Princess Marianne; Pottebakker 
Yellow and Thomas Moore ; Chrysolora and Dusart ; Princess Ida and Rosamundi ; Duchesse de Parma 
and Fabiola ; Rosamundi and Rose Superbe ; Couleur Cardinal makes a grand show bedded by itself, but 
Snowdrift goes well with it ; Keizerskroon makes a fine bed with Queen Victoria as an outside border.
