PLANTING r 267 



It is hardly possible to enumerate all the 

 combinations of colour, even when only two 

 elements are used. Those who have an eye 

 for a good colour effect will experiment for 

 themselves, and continually find new and 

 charming harmonies and contrasts. For those 

 who cannot trust their colour sense I have 

 compiled a short list of examples which may 

 be relied upon to yield good results if used 

 in a suitable environment.
