Tulips suggested groups are the gorgeous orange La Merveille^ with 



Grouped pale blue Flax, and the sweet-scented Parisian Yellow with 



with Other Didieri alba and the mauve Phlox Wilsoni. Such a pale pink 



Plants as M&rgarti looks lovely with Veronica prostrata y or a 

 brighter pink with the silver leaved Achillea^ or in groups near 

 the early white Florentine Iris. Cheap yellows, such as Bout on 

 d'Or, may be planted in quantity near the early purple Flag and 

 Solomon's Seal, or clumps of the soft violet Erguste in front of 

 Choisya, crowded at the same time with white flower. These 

 groups are given only to stimulate fresh ideas, as the endless 

 variety of colour in Tulips ought to be used to the best 

 advantage. A list is added of some of the finest sorts, but 

 many of them are very expensive, and are only to be found in 

 the raisers' catalogue. A list of the cheaper varieties was given 

 in " Garden Colour."
