52 BOOK OF GARDEN PLANS 
the Asters have made much start. Tulips and Poppies will overlap in 
time of bloom, so watch out for color discords; perhaps the Tulips had 
better be all in white or very light shades. 
Iceland Poppies (Papaver nudicaule) in three colors—white, yellow, 
and orange—may be placed back of the edging in front to add to the 
Poppy effect; these will require frequent renewal. It may be that after a 
few years these will not be considered necessary. 
The whole border should be permanent—a flame of scarlet relieved 
by white—and it will have no dull season. The arrangement of each 
plot, from back to front, in five zones is given more in detail in the plant- 
ing list. 
THE STATELY ORIENTAL POPPY 
This is an excellent illustration of the value of massing. One flower standing alone 
would look weak (Garden of Mr. R. B. Whyte, Ottawa, Can.)
