these buds drooping gracefully, with a 
peculiar softness all their own. Dawn, 
rising above well established clumps of 
Japanese Anemones Whirlwind, or Beaute 
Parfait! Dawn, with the salmon pink 
geranium Beaute Poitevine! Dawn, in 
conjunction with Niagara—-all these are 
sure to prove arrangements to charm one’s 
eye in mid-summer.” 
As a cut flower, no single color lends 
itself so perfectly to almost any room dec¬

soft green sprays of Ambrosia and spikes 
of Dawn gives a combination of coloring 
not produced by any other garden flower. 
Niagara, with its beautiful creamy yel¬

carpet of deep purple Petunia at the base 
or surrounded by the rich tones of Sal- 
piglossis, it would be most effective. A 
truly lovely vase of pastel colors may be 
had with Niagara, America, and Baron 
Hulot or Badenia in combination. 
Baron Hulot and Badenia are the finest 
of the Blue Gladioli. The deep rich 
blue-purple of Baron Hulot and the true 
lavender of Badenia bring to mind end¬ 
less color combinations for the garden and 
the house. Badenia planted with Sun¬ 
rise, with pink Snapdragons at the base, 
or Badenia and Baron Hulot blooming 
above branching Daybreak Asters. A 
most successful combination has been 
Baron Hulot with the soft Apricot pink of 
Hollandia, or Scarsdale and Hollandia.(
