or basket of the biggest sun flowers 

 you can find, fringing off with golden 

 rod. 



If flowers are intended to be worn on 

 the stage find out the color of dress i£ 

 possible and send flowers to match. 

 Thorns should be taken from the roses 

 and very little it any wire used. Re- 

 commend the wearing of shoulder 

 sprays. This is a graceful spray of 

 carnations or roses about a foot long 

 tied with a large cluster of very nar- 

 row ribbon. Let a few streamers hang 

 as long as the flowers and use no 

 green but be careful your ribbon is the 

 exact color of either flower or foliage. 

 This is to be worn on the lefr. shoul- 

 der. Then another pretty custom is 

 the "belt bunch." This is made more 

 compact and arranged like a double 

 eorsage bouquet but made very light 

 and is tied with ribbon in the middle 

 which can be attached to th-' waist- 

 band. 



Various Suggestions. 



There are so many varieties of flow- 

 ers obtainable now that it's possible 

 to make many very pretty combina- 

 tions. 



Tamarix flowers lend a graceful 

 charm to a vase of mixed flov.'ers and 

 a few sprays will make any funeral 

 design more beautiful. 



Of course a nicely arranged vase of 

 assorted flowers will look well any- 

 where, but, if possible, keep your col- 

 ors separate, that is where your de- 

 corations are in anyway extensive. 

 The effect is better and your chances 

 of being adversely criticised are less. 



White flowers, with the exc>:ption of 

 a bunch of valley, should never be 

 eent to a sick person. 



Be generous with your cut flowers 

 this time of the year. Don't let your 

 surplus stock be wasted. Send it to 

 the hospitals or give it to the Sunday 

 schools. That withered gladiolus or 

 faded rose might have cheered some 

 heart or done some good for future 

 trade. 



Gloxinias are grand now and what 

 a variety of colors — every hue imagin- 

 able — and how beautiful they look on 

 the lunch table when put in bottles of 

 water and arranged among adiantum 

 in a flat basket or even as growing 

 plants if taken out of the pot and halt 

 the soil cut off. then arranged in pans. 



Use very little cut adiantum in these 

 warm days. It fades very quickly and 

 kills the effect. Instead, use, wher- 

 ever possible, the plants cuiting off 

 three parts of the soil and arrange in 

 wet moss. Small plants can be used in 

 funeral work. 



Hydrangea paniculata makes fine 

 ground-work for cheap funeral designs 

 and every grower should plant some. 



Gardenias are still considered the 

 finest and choicest boutonuiere mate- 

 rial for gentlemen. Stick a wire up 

 the stem of the flower and use a few 

 small leaves. For ladies have them 

 natural and plenty of foliage.

' IN THE American Architect for July 

 16 appears an able article on the 

 "Landscape Phase of the University 

 of California Plan," by Warren H. 

 Manning, in which he points out the 

 landscape features that should be con- 

 sidered by architects in preparing 

 plans for the university buildings, and 

 emphasizing the importance of the ad- 

 vice of a landscape architect at the in- 

 ception of such an undertaking. As 

 Mr. Manning intimates, the proper first 

 step would be to consult a landscape 

 architect, who, after having deter- 

 mined upon the site, should outline a 

 preliminary plan of the grounds, and 

 then in conjunction with the designers 

 of the buildings prepare a comprehen- 

 sive scheme in which the separate 

 parts would be properly related to each 

 other. 



WM. SCOTT'S Miscellaneous Season- 

 able Hints are universally acknowl- 

 edged to be decidedly the )no.st valua- 

 ble contributions to the current litera- 

 ture of the profession. Why? Because 

 they tell the florist doing a general 

 business the little things that he wants 

 to know and in the way he v/ants to 

 be told. They are of direct money 

 value to every one in the business. Mr. 

 Scott writes exclusively for The Flor- 

 ists' Review.

Simplicity in Greenliouse Construction. 



During our long experience we have not only made many improve- 

 ments in greenhouses, but we have so simplified the construction that 

 building a greenhouse is no longer a matter so full of complications as 

 to tax the patience and the ingenuity of even the most intelligent 

 mechanic. Our 



Clear Cypress Building Material 



is worked out in the best manner ready to be put up, and we furnish our 

 customers such complete detail drawings that any workman of only ordi- 

 nary capabilities can put it up correctly.
