Color 
Contrasts 
E TE-FLOWERING TULIPS are most effective in a Tulip border if clumps or blocks of 20 to 
40 of each variety are planted. The five varieties which we picture above have been especially 
chosen for their distinct color and blooming qualities. These will make a pleasing color contrast. 
They may be arranged in the border in clump formation, the clumps so arranged at planting-time as 
to leave irregular spaces at the edges of the border in order that pansy plants may be set out in early 
April, to provide a pleasing low-growing border planting. The varieties featured above are illustrated 
in the following order: 
AFTERGLOW. A glorious combination of deep 
rosy orange and salmon. 
60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
LA TRISTESSE. A deep shade of slaty blue. 
65 cts. for 10; $5.50 per 100

differing from other varieties in its vividness of 
color. 55 cts. for 10; $4.75 per 100

Darwin Tulip. 85 cts. for 10; $7.50 per 100
