SPRING-FL0WERING 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, Cottage Boy, Golden 
Lion, Duchesse de Parme and Hector. 
Cottage Tulips Vitellina, Fulgens Iutea pallida. Miss Willmott, 
Moonlight, Fulgens Iutea maxima. Avis Kennicott, Doris, John 
Ruskin, Fairy Queen and Union Jack 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, Flamingo, Clara Butt, George Maw, 
Princess Elizabeth, Nauticas and Mattia; purple and lavender— 
Lantern, Paul Eudel, Corydon, Erguste, Pensee Amere, Mar¬ 
coni, 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— 
Bronze Queen, Plutarchus, Apricot, Chestnut, Dom Pedro, 
Turenne, 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.
