C. Narcissi for Different Locations. In moist, well-drained 

 loam use the large trumpet types. In heavier, damper, lower ground 

 use the poeticus and double gardenia-flowered form. In warmer 

 climates, on damp, moist soil, use the double daffodil. In rockeries 

 use the hoop-petticoat, cyclamen-flowered, and triandrus sections. 



D. Tulip Combinations. The most interesting effect can be 

 obtained from the planting of tulips when study and thought are given 

 to the colour effects of the flowers. Many interesting plantings of 

 tulips have been completely spoiled from the standpoint of the land- 

 scape effect in a garden and on a lawn because sufficient thought has 

 not been given to the relationship between the colours of the flowers 

 and the season of bloom. It sometimes requires a complementary 

 colour or a contrasting colour to make the most interesting flower 

 effect. There are many tulip combinations which may be selected, 

 but the following are a few which may be used as a guide : 



a. Single: 



S Jeannette (crimson red, edged old rose) ( Kohinoor (crimson red, purplish bloom) 

 \ Rose precoce (creamy white) ■] Rose Aplati (blush white, edged salmon 



( rose) 



! Primrose Queen (primrose edged canary 

 yellow) 

 Wouverman (dark purple)
