front 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. Pachy- 
sandra 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 ma- 
terial, 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 various varieties 
harmonize and that the height is the same, except for 
the center bed. 
Tulips do not mind partial shade, on the contrary 
this protection tends to draw the stems to greater length 
and the blooms last longer. 
The Thrust 1s back with his old note; 
The Scarlet Tulip blowing; 
And white-ay, white as my love's throat— 
The dogwood boughs are glowing. —
