ECONOMY IN WINDOW DRESSING. 



The general depresion of business 

 having manifested itself keenly in the 

 cni flower trade suggests the necessity 

 of economy and its practice by i lie re- 

 tail florists. 



No better opportunity presents itself 

 than that of window dressing, where 

 flowers are too often unnecessarily 

 wasted. With one-fourth, or less, of 

 the cut (lowers banked in the windows 

 of many of our flower shops, a tasty 

 and artistic show might be made. 



Too many flowers and too little judg- 

 ment ate usually the faulty features. 

 Exotics in variety placed wide apart, 

 allowing each plant to show fully for 

 itself, is the first economy essential. 

 The plants must be as near perfect as 

 it is possible to procure them, and, 

 when no longer things of beauty, must

be replaced with others of equal dis- 

 tinction. Plants of light structure are 

 preferable, as they make the most deli- 

 cate background for the flowers that 

 constitute the bloom display. 



One large vase of choice flowers — 

 one kind — is all that is actually neces- 

 sary, although the introduction of 

 si vera! smaller vases of rare blossoms, 

 harmonizing with the larger centre- 

 piece, is admirable. These flowers, 

 after having done a day's duty, if not 

 sold before closing time, can be very 

 readily used in orders of a secondary 

 nature, the following day; the value of 

 the flowers being, but slightly impaired 

 the matter of economy is easily 

 observed. 



Window displays as described, when 

 artistically arranged, are invariably 

 observed by the public, and when the 

 character of dressing is frequently 

 changed will prove sufficiently at- 

 tractive to induce the flower lover to 

 go out of his way to observe the nov-
