Darwin Tulips, City of Haarlem 
evergreen 
pinks and 
background. Dark 
white varieties, like 
marked witli * are best for forcing. 
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 
Moonlight (a Cottage 
Tulip) with a deep red- 
purple variety, Faust 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 
pinks are good with light 
the Cottage Picotce. Those
