A fine example of this type of planting is a garden 
path flanked by French Hybrid Lilacs, in a setting 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 bonemeal, to be applied after planting and 
raked in. 
Then the pied wind-flowers, and the tultp tall, 
And Narctssi, the fairest among them all, 
Who gaze in thew eyes im the stream’s recess 
Till they die of thew own dear loveliness.
