ARRANGEMENT IN HIGH VASE 



their proper shapes. The bending is done 

 according to the rules for bending given 

 later. 



Now take the longest branch, from which 

 Heaven is to be made. It must then be 

 bent carefully into this shape, (see 

 cut) or a line as nearly as possi- 

 ble like it. There can be but one 

 Heaven branch. It can never be 

 multiplied. 



Hold the branch up before you 

 and look at it carefully to deter- 

 mine which side will serve better 



for the front. This should be 

 the side the leaves and flowers 

 naturally turn to. After you 

 have bent it to your satisfac- 

 tion, place it in water, but not 

 in the receptacle the arrange- 

 ment is to be made in. 



Next take up Man, which 

 should be the first placed in 

 the vase. It will be shorter 

 than Heaven, but follows its lines like this.
