Darwin Tulips are in¬ 
creasing in popularity every 
season. Colors range from 
white to purplish black, 
including shades of crimson, 
violet, brown, rose, etc. 
Very effective for planting 
in shrubbery or in hardy 
plant borders. The flowers 
are large, deeply cupped, 
and are borne on lofty 
stems which are ideal for 
cutting and vase use. Gor¬ 
geous combinations of color 
can be made by planting 
them in broad masses or 
long, narrow borders. To 
avoid striking contrasts, 
use tones of bronze and pale 
violet with the lavenders— 
and soft pinks and laven¬ 
ders, shades which merge 
into each other and do not 
clash as violently as the 
usual red and yellow. If 
striking effects are desired, 
try Bleu Aimable in front 
of City of Haarlem, a vivid, 
odd, French combination of 
blue and scarlet; or an even 
more effective combination 
of some pale yellow, like 
Flava (a Cottage Tulip) 
with a deep red-purple 
variety, Philippe de 
Comines or Zulu. The new 
pale yellows are also good 
with dark mahogany-red 
varieties like King Harold. 
Brilliant reds like Pride of 
Haarlem and Farncombe 
Sanders are best used 
alone, or against an ever¬ 
green background. Dark 
pinks are good with light pinks and white varieties, like the 
Cottage Picotee. Those marked with * are best for forcing.
