Joost van den Vondel (dark cerise red) and Lady 



Boreel (white); 

 Crimson Queen (cerise red) and Calypso (light 



yellow) ; 

 Verrnillion Brillant (vermillion) and Princess 



Helene (white); 

 Couleur Cardinal (cardinal red) and Prins van 



Oostenrijk (orange red) ; 

 Artus (red) and Chrysolora (yellow); 

 Cerise gris-de-lin (mauve rose) and Yellow 



Prince (yellow) ; 



La reine (white roseate) and Ibis (dark rose) : 

 Max Havelaar (salmon orange) and Van der \ 



Neer (purple). 



For a long narrow bed we should recommend \ 

 to start with: Lady Boreel (white). Next to it: 

 President Cleveland (pale rose), and then Fla- 

 mingo (bright rose), Ibis (dark rose), Mac 

 Kinlev (brick red), Vermillion brillant (bright 

 vermillion), Belle Alliance (dark scarlet), Prince 

 of Austria (orange red), Max Havelaar (orange), ; 

 The Rising Sun (golden yellow), Herman 

 Schlegel (light yellow), President Lincoln (heli- 

 otrope), Van der Neer (purple), to finish with 

 Wouwerman (purple red). The effect of this 

 bed is delightful but it is absoluty necessary to 

 make the bed very lone: in proportions to the 

 width. We suggest a width of 4 feet, and a length 

 of 60 feet, planting of every kind about 100 

 bulbs. 



Double Early Tulips. 



These tulips give a very satisfactory result 

 indeed for bedding, specially when spring is not 

 too wet. The big flowers develop then fully, 

 and the effect is wonderful when the sun shines. 

 Beds in one colour are very beautiful, providing 

 kinds with a sturdy stem are planted. So that 

 they can stand inclement weather. The following 

 kinds are to be recommended: Cocheneal (bril- 

 liant red), Boule de Neige (white), Electra 

 (bright carmine red), Golden King (pure golden 

 yellow), Imperator rubrorum (scarlet), Lac van 

 Haarlem (violet purple), Luminosa (orange 

 scarlet), Mr. van der Hoef (bright yellow), Mu- 

 rillo (pale rose), Orange Nassau (dark oranee). 

 Peach Blossom (bright rose), Rosea Perfecta 

 (bright rose), Schoonoord (pure white), Tea 

 (sulphur yellow with salmon) and Vuur- 

 baak (glowing orange scarlet). There are of 

 course other kinds, not mentioned here, which 

 will give satisfaction. 



Fine good combinations. 



For a combination of two kinds in one bed, 

 we recommend: 

 Muri'io (pale rose) and Schoonoord (pure 



white) ; 

 Mr. van der Hoef (yellow) and Oranje Nassau 



(dark orange) ;
