A fine example of this type of planting is a 
garden path, flanked by French Hybrid Lilacs, set- 
ting of a border of Peonies, interplanted with 
Tulips. In order to attain color harmony, the 
Tulips should be pink, lilac and mauve shades, 
similar to the Lilacs, which flower at the same 
time. The Peonies in various varieties bloom for 
several weeks, beginning around the end of May. 
We should not forget to plant a few Tulips in 
the cutting or vegetable garden, not alone for 
flowers for the house, but also to try out a few 
new varieties. 
No matter where Tulips are planted the soil 
must be dug deeply, at least a foot deep. Every 
three years a layer of two inches of well rotted 
cowmanure should be dug in, before planting, 
deep enough to keep the manure from the Tulips; 
the following two years a little lime and/or bone- 
meal, to be applied after planting and raked in. 
Then the pied wind-flowers, and the tulip tall, 
And Narcissi, the fairest among them all, 
Who gaze in their eyes in the strearm’s recess 
Till they die of their own dear loveliness.
