BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1936 
DOUBLE TULIP BOULE DE NEIGE. 
Early Double Tulips. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautiful 
colours, and are very effective in beds on lawns, terraces, etc., 
also as edgings to beds of Roses and Rhododendrons and to 
shrubberies. Planted in groups of five or more, they are very 
attractive. By a judicious selection of Double and Single Tulips, 
a display of brilliant colours may be maintained in the garden 
for a long period. 
Culture Outdoors. —Any ordinary garden soil enriched with 
old stable manure, suits the Tulip. Planting out of doors should 
take place from October to November, not earlier. On light soils the 
bulbs should be planted 4 to 5 inches deep ; on heavy soils 3 to 
4 inches deep, measuring from top of bulb. Tulips should not be 
planted two years running on the same piece of ground. 
Time of Flowering. —The numbers in brackets after the name 
indicate the order of flowering, and will assist customers in making 
their selections for bedding, thus :—(2) corresponds in time of 
flowering with (2) of the Early Single Tulips ; (3) corresponds 
with (3) of the Early Single Tulips, and so on. The heights, as 
registered at our nurseries, are given in inches. 
For Pot Culture plant three bulbs in a pot. See cultural 
directions, pages 2 and 3.
