entrance may be planted solidly with Tulips, in 
which case not too many varieties should be used 
and the colors should be bright and harmonizing. 
Pachysandra or myrtle make a good ground cover 
in this case, otherwise Pansies should be used in 
combination with the Tulips, to be followed by 
annuals. 
The formal garden requires more planting 
and material, but in simple design can be very 
beautiful, even in diminutive form. 
It is essential that each bed should be planted 
with one variety only, that the colors of the vari- 
ous varieties harmonize and that the height is the 
same, except for the center bed. 
Tulips do not mind partial shade, on the con- 
trary this protection tends to draw the stems to 
greater length and the blooms last longer. 
The Thrust is back with his old note; 
The Scarlet Tulip blowing; 
And white-ay, white as my love’s throat— 
The dogwood boughs are glowing.
