Gardens In Color 
The flower garden offers unlimited opportunities for gay color combina- 
tions. Red and yellow, all white, white and yellow, blue and yellow are 
but a few of the popular combinations. A blue and !avender color scheme 
is unusual and will produce a pleasing and restful visual effect. Here 
listed alphabetically are a few of the more popular annuals which may 
be used for this purpose. Try some of these in your garden, 
Ageratum—Midget Blue; Alyssum—Royal Carpet; Anchusa—Blue Bird; 
Bachelor's Buttons—Blue Boy; Didicus (Blue Lace Flower); Larkspur— 
Regal Dark Blue and Lilac; Linum—(Flowering Flax) Perennial Blue; 
Lobelia—Crystal Palace; Morning Glory—Heavenly Blue; Nemophila 
(Baby Blue Eyes); Petunia—Blue Bee; Salvia (Flowering Sage)—Blue 
Bedder; Scabiosa—Blue Moon and Vinca (Periwinkle). 
A border garden of white annuals planted against a background of shrubs 
is always beautiful. A few we might suggest are: 
Alyssum—Carpet of Snow; Centaurea—Snow Man; Candytuft—White 
Hyacinth; Gypsophila—(Baby's Breath) —Annual White; Larkspur—Regal 
White; Mignonette; Nicotiana; Petunia—Snow Storm; Scabiosa—Peace; 
Shasta Daisy and Verbena, Mammoth White. 
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 
Candytuft,
