THE CREAM OF THE BEST DUTCH-GROWN VARIETIES 
Darwin Tulips are increasing 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 cut- 
ting and vase use. Gorgeous 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 lavenders, 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 Belle Jaune (Cottage Tulip), with a deep red- 
purple variety, La Tulipe Noire. The new pale yel- 
lows are also good with dark red varieties. Brilliant 
reds like Eclipse and William Pitt are best used alone, 
or against an evergreen background. Dark pinks are 
good with light pinks and white varieties.
