COLOR ARRANGEMENTS OF FLOWERS 



blooming white lilacs, such as Mme. Casimir- 

 Perier, and Marie Legraye, have been very 

 nice in my garden. 



Azalea mollis, with late yellow tulips, 

 together with Deutzia rosea and the delici- 

 ously scented daphne, make satisfactory com- 

 binations. 



Late yellow or pink tulips may be planted 

 around a clump of pink double-flowering 

 almond; and, as the German iris blooms at 

 the same time with the syringa, of which 

 Grandiflorus is the best variety, a quantity 

 of this iris, in many varieties, is lovely when 

 grown in a bed surrounding the syringa. 



A beautiful shrubbery can be composed 

 by using weigelia, varieties Rosea and Eva 

 Rathke, the golden-leaved syringa, both pink 

 and white deutzia, Japanese snowballs, both 

 the golden and the variegated elder, some 

 Japanese maples both red and yellow-leaved, 

 two or three purple-leaved plums, a few cedars, 

 and a few retinisporas, with an occasional 

 Lombardy poplar at the back.
