A WELL ARRANGED FLORAL 

 WREATH. 



A certain writer autl critic of no 

 small repute remarked in an article 

 whicli we published recently that the 

 sweet pea was one of the most difficult 

 flowers to show to full advantage in a 

 photograph. The difficulty is not lim- 

 ited to photographic illustration but, 

 as many an artist has found, applies 

 also to the working up of this favorite 

 flower in floral arrangements. We 

 think the wreath herewith illustrated 

 is an exceptionally effective piece of 

 work, characterized by simplicity and 

 good taste, and making use of the 

 sweet pea with vei-j- satisfactory re- 

 sults. It was arranged at the florist 

 store of Thomas F. Galvin, Boston. 



One of our florist correspondents 

 takes a shy at the "Dutch shoe" as a 

 flower receptacle. He says: "Flowers 

 and shoes don't go together. Shoes 

 are too stiff. Nothing can be made 

 of the Dutch shoe with any arrange- 

 ment of crocus or hyacinth that the 

 wit of the best artist can devise. If 

 one wants a Dutch effect there are 

 better ways. Jars, vases — many things 

 peculiar to Holland — lend themselves 

 better to the art of floral arrange- 

 ment."
