Hyacinth; Gypsophila—( Baby's Breath) —Annual White; Larkspur—Regal 
White; Mignonette; Nicotiana; Petunia—Snow Storm; Scabiosa—Peace;

Or you might want to have your garden in blues, yellows and white. If 
so, here is a striking border: 
Plant the soft yellow Marigolds, Zinnias and Annual Phlox in drifts or long 
masses throughout the border. As a background use the blues and lilacs 
of Larkspur. Along the border carry out your blues with Scabiosa—Blue 
Moon; Salvia—Blue Bedder, Didiscus planted near the pure white 
Centaurea (Bachelor's Button) or behind the giant white Hyacinth
