FLOWERS IN HANGING RECEPTACLES 



Notice the illustration of an arrangement 

 of morning glories. Morning glories should 

 never have more than one or two full, open 

 flowers. 



One of the most popular and beautiful of 

 the hanging arrangements is that done in a 

 crescent-shaped vase so as to show the date 

 of the month. The first day of the month 

 starts with a long streamer hanging out in 

 front on the left-hand side, as shown in the 

 illustration. This streamer is shortened each 

 day until the tenth of the month, when a 

 new long streamer is put in at the back and 

 there shortened each day until the twentieth, 

 when the streamer again comes to the front; 

 but for the last ten days it is at the right- 

 hand side. 



The boat in its various forms has been so 

 perfectly described by Mr. Conder that only 

 a few examples of it are given here. 



Tree branches are also used in hanging 

 vases. Trees being of higher growth than 

 flowers and shrubs, it is proper that they 

 should be placed high.
