BARR’S MAY-FLOWERING SINGLE ‘COTTAGE’ TULIPS. 
SHOWY AND BEAUTIFUL FORMS OF TULIPA GESNERIANA AND OTHER SPECIES. 
The name Cottage Tulips we have given to the following varieties on account of many of them 
having been discovered in very old cottage gardens in England, Scotland, and Ireland, where they have 
been in some cases growing for over fifty years. They are all very beautiful, and on account of their 
extreme hardiness are specially adapted for permanent borders, where they should be freely planted in 
large clumps and masses. They may also be naturalised in grass, wild gardens, &c. , where in the early 
part of May they present a gorgeous appearance. Those who have visited Kew Gardens in Spring will 
have noticed these Tulips planted freely in grass, and also used largely in filling flower beds on the lawns. 
For culling they are greatly prized , as the stems are long and a free graceful effect can be readily- 
obtained by their use. 
In most cases we give the heights as registered at our Long DittOn Nurseries. 
In time of flowering, Elegans and Picolee open first, followed by Fu/gens, Golden Beauty , Billietiana, 
Golden Crown , Gesneriana, Macrospila , Goldflake , Buenaventura , &c., and the gorgeous Parrot Tulips 
and grand Darwin Tulips. A very pretty Tulip bed can be made with T. Picotee in the centre and 
T. Golden Beauty as a border.
