GERMAN FLORAL WORK. 



We present herewith a group of pic- 

 tures of German floral arrangements 

 which we have reproduced from Mol- 

 ler's Deutsche Gartner Zeitung. These 

 undoubtedly represent the latest de- 

 velopments in the arrangement of 

 flowers by German florists. 



It will be noted that orchids enter 

 largely into these arrangements and 

 we understand that they are largely 



grown for cut flowers in Germany. At 

 the same time we are informed that 

 for his finer pieces the German florist 

 receives prices fully as high as those 

 in America, though there is an im- 

 mense quantity of cheaper work sup- 

 plied at very low rates. 



In the German florist stores there 

 is generally to be seen quite a num- 

 ber of arrangements of flowers ready 

 for the possible customer to select 

 from. And flowers so arranged seem 



to keep better there than here, prob- 

 ably due to the fact that the at- 

 mosphere is not so dry as ours. 



There seems to be a tendency 

 among the German florists to revive 

 the arrangements of flowers in bas- 

 kets. During late years few baskets 

 have been used, and rarely anything 

 but wreaths were seen at funerals. 

 Now, more of the formal styles of ar- 

 rangement are used.
