JAPANESE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT 



Then open the incisions and put in wedges, 

 and force them down level with the bark of 

 the branch. 



Another way to facilitate bending an ob- 

 stinate branch is first to heat it at the place 

 where the bend should come, then bend by 

 wrapping it with paper dipped in vinegar 

 over the heated spot. 



Bending of Leaves 

 By this is meant the turning over of leaves so 

 that their backs may be seen. For this use only 

 the fingers dipped in water. The foliage of daf- 

 fodil, narcissus, and iris is bent in this way.
