THE NEW BORDERS 39 



a very strong feature. It can be done in this way : 

 first of all, set at intervals of six feet along the border 

 two feet from the grass alternate clumps of double white 

 Arabis and mauve Aubrietia. Between each pair of 

 clumps set patches of Daffodils and Tulips in the following 

 order : (i) Daffodil Horsefieldii, (2) Tulip Pride of Haar- 

 lem, (3) Daffodil Sir Watkin, (4) Tulip Walter T. Ware, 

 (5) Daffodil Victoria, (6) Tulip Clara Butt, (7) Daffodil 

 rugulosus (Campernelle), (8) Tulip Erguste, (9) Daffodil 

 Emperor, (10) Tulip La Candeur, (n) Daffodil Ben Jonson 

 (Poeticus), (12) Tulip Gesneriana major, (13) Daffodil 

 Madame de Graaff, (14) Tulip Sunset, (15) Daffodil 

 Lady Margaret Boscawen, (16) Tulip Gesneriana lutea, 

 (17) Daffodil Waterwitch, (18) Tulip Loveliness, (19) 

 Daffodil Golden Bell, (20) Tulip Velvet King, (21) Daffodil 

 Barri conspicuus, (22) Tulip Calypso, (23) Daffodil 

 Homespun, (24) Tulip Rev. H. Ewbank. The Tulips will 

 bloom after the Daffodils. Small clusters of hardy 

 coloured Primroses and Polyanthuses may separate the 

 clumps of Daffodils and Tulips. When the Tulips go out 

 of bloom break off the stems and plant close to them young 

 seedling Snapdragons or China Asters, to grow over 

 the Tulips as the leaves fade and bloom throughout 

 summer and autumn.
