BARR’S 
BEAUTIFUL ‘GOLD MEDAL’ ENGLISH TULIPS. 
bark’s ENGLISH TULIPS, 
Representing a Breeder, a Flamed, and a Feathered variety. 
MAY-FLOWERING. 
Awarded Four Gold Medals by the 
Royal National Tulip Society, 
1896, 1897, 1898 and 1899. 
These beautiful English Tulips we can 
confidently recommend to amateurs for select places 
in the garden, and for massing in flower beds and 
borders. They form a valuable succession to the 
Early Tulips, while for symmetry of form and beauty 
of marking they far surpass them. 
Our Long Ditton Collection of English 
Tulips is the largest one in existence and well worth 
a visit in May, when the flowers may be seen in all 
their beauty. 
To those who wish to know all about the 
English Tulip, we recommend ‘ The 
English Tulip,’ a little pamphlet containing 
the lectures delivered on this flower at the 
Great Tulip Conference of the Royal National 
Tulip Society, held at Royal Botanic Society's 
Gardens, May 12th, 1897 — namely, ‘ The 
History and the Properties of the Florist 
Tulip,’ by J. W. Bentley ; ‘ Seed and 
Seedlings of the Florist Tulip,' by the Rev. 
F. D. Horner ; ‘ The Cultivation of the 
Florist Tulip, ’ by C.W. Needham. Price 1/-. 
Culture of English Tulips. — Any good 
loamy garden soil suits the ‘ English Tulip.’ The 
bulbs should be planted three inches deep and four
