A USEFUL DEVICE. 



Bassett & Washburn, the Chicago 

 wholesalers, use a wire attachment to 

 their small vases for holding cut 

 chrysanthemums. They are of heavy 

 wire in the form of two rings, the 

 lower one smaller than the upper and 

 connected by upright wires. These are 

 slipped on over the jars by putting 

 the jar inside the wire frame and pull- 

 ing it up till it fits tight. It has a 

 decided advantage over the large jar 

 for holding chrysanthemums, for it 

 does not injure the foliage by plung- 

 ing it into deep water and is also much 

 easier to handle.
