Barr’s Old English Tulips. 
Awarded Eleven Gold Medals by the National Tulip Society. 
These are the beautiful Tulips which have been raised in England and cultivated by Tulip lovers 
for over a century. They may therefore be truly described as English Tulips. They differ from the 
Old Dutch Tulips in the greater refinement of their flowers, which are of perfect goblet form, while 
in the case of the feathered and flamed varieties the markings are more refined and beautiful. More¬ 
over, they all have clear centres either pure ivhite or pure yellow. They are specially recommended 
for select borders and to cut for the exhibition table. 
igS" 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 National Tulip Society, held at Royal Botanic Society's Gardens, May 12th, 1897, price 1/-.

Culture of English Tulips. —-Any good loamy garden soil suits the “ English Tulips.” The bulbs 
should be planted four inches deep and four inches apart, from the middle of October to end of Novem¬ 
ber, choosing a day when the soil is in a nice friable condition ; avoid planting when the ground is wet. 
The Bizarres embrace the following colours :—Self shades of red, crimson, scarlet, maroon, and 
chestnut, also flakings of orange, scarlet, crimson, brown, and black, all on a lemon or golden-yellow 
ground ; in all cases the centres are clear lemon or rich yellow. The Bybloemens contain self shades of 
purple, violet, lilac, and heliotrope, and also with beautiful flakings of black, violet, purple, and lavender, 
on a clear white ground, and with a dazzling white centre. The Roses contain lovely self shades 
of rose and rose-scarlet, and also pretty flakings of delicate pink, soft rose, glowing scarlet, and deep 
crimson on a pure w r hite ground, all having a clear white centre. 
In the descriptions “breeder” indicates the self-coloured or seeding form, and “flamed” 
where the self-colour has broken into a variegation. A “breeder ” Tulip may at any time break into 
a flamed or feathered variegation.
