THE WELL-CONSIDERED GARDEN 



it dijQBcult to exactly place the color. Its mark- 

 ings are of carmine-purple (Pourpre carmine No. 

 3), slim, narrow lines. The effect of the flower 

 was of a beautiful warm pink flaked and feath- 

 ered with white, as in a Breeder tulip; the mark- 

 ings, however, much more delicate. 



Philadelphia and Evolution come next to mind; 

 the former in color mauve-rose (chart, Rose mal- 

 vace No. 1), clear pale rose-pink tone, fine form, 

 a wide, large flower with sharp, narrow markings 

 in the throat, of carmine-purple (chart, Pourpre 

 carmine No. 3). Evolution's prevaihng tone is 

 mauve-rose (chart. Rose malvace No. 1, flaked 

 with No. 4 on the same plate, and with dark old- 

 rose — chart, Rose brule No. 3). The anthers of 

 this pair of lovely gladioli, with their pale-pink 

 tones — the anthers are of the shade called bluish 

 lilac (Lilas bleuatre No. 1) — give genuine distinc- 

 tion to these flowers. 



Gladiolus Rosella is a lovely thing. In its 

 main tone carmine-purple (chart, Pourpre car- 

 mine No. 1, with its throat markings No. 3 on 

 the same plate), the effect is of a huge flower of 

 rich orchid-like pink, very beautiful, a very open, 

 spreading flower. Rosella above ageratum Stella 

 Gurney cannot fail to be a success in color plant-
