THE BLUE BOOK OF BULBS 



blend most harmoniously, if used as a background for the white, 

 yellow and blue Hyacinths. A similar arrangement of Hyacinths 

 Mimi, General de Wet, Lady Derby, Queen Wilhelmina and 

 Kohinoor, will provide a handsome scheme in shades of pink. 



In Early Tulips an exquisite pink border planting can be made 

 by using, in the order named, the following varieties: La Triom- 

 phante, Queen of the Netherlands, Van Gooyen, La Riante, De 

 Vlieger, Princess Wilhelmina and Proserpine. Yellow and violet 

 will combine artistically in White Hawk, L'Unique or Para- 

 gon Guldebloem, Primrose Queen, Golden Queen, President 

 Lincoln, Eleanora and Wouverman. A handsome combination 

 of white with orange can be formed with Frans Hals and Princess 

 Helen as a background for Jaune Aplati, Leopold H, Golden 

 Lion, Duchesse de Parme and Hector. 



Cottage Tulips Vitellina, Fulgens lutea pallida, Miss Willmott, 

 Solferina, Fulgens lutea maxima. Avis Kennicott, Daybreak, 

 John Ruskin, Fairy Queen and Twilight give a very beautiful 

 scheme in yellow and violet. Picotee, The Fawn, Inglescombe 

 Pink, Sir Harry and Gesneriana alba oculata shade through pink 

 and deep rose most effectively. 



Darwin Tulip combinations formed as below will prove 

 decidedly beautiful, especially if situated in partial shade: Pink 

 and cerise — Margaret, Suzon, Clara Butt, George Maw, Princess 

 Elizabeth, Nauticas and Louise de la Valliere; purple and la- 

 vender — Lantern, Paul Eudel, Euterpe, Ronald Gunn, Pensee 

 Amere, Marconi, Viking, Gryphus, Jubilee and Zulu; pink and 

 red — Baronne de la Tonnaye, Edmee, Pride of Haarlem, Professor 

 Francis Darwin, Whistler, Mr. Farncombe Sanders, King Harold 

 and William Pitt. The soft colors of the Breeder Tulips will 

 appear to advantage in the following arrangement of brown and 

 purple — Mr. Groenewegen, Plutarchus, Apricot, Jules Favre, 

 Dom Pedro, Moody, Godet Parfait and Velvet King. 



A very beautiful blending of soft tones may be developed in a 

 long border planting to include in the order given these Tulips: 

 Sybilla Merian, Reverend Ewbank, Bronze Queen, La Fiancee, 

 Viking, Marconi, Golden Bronze, Louis XIV, Zulu, Flamingo, 

 Miss Willmott, Massachusetts, Yellow Perfection, Clara Butt, 

 Apricot, Centenaire, Jaune d*Oeuf and Andre Doria.
