BARR’S DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautifully diversified colours, and are very 
effective in beds on lawns, terraces, &c,, also as edgings to beds of Roses and Rhododendrons and to 
shrubberies. Planted in groups of five or more, they are very attractive. Plant the bulbs four to six inches 
apart . 
Time of Flowerin g. — The numbers in brackets after the name indicate the order of flowering, 
and will assist amateurs in making their selections for bedding, thus : — (I) c orresponds in time of flowering 
with (I) of the Single Tulips ; (2) corresponds with (2) of the S ingle 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 same cultural treatment as the 
Hyacinth.
