CHAPTER FOUR 

 PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS 



IN explaining the first principles of the 

 flower art of Japan, using only three 

 or five sprays of flowers, it was easy 

 to demonstrate with an illustration of a 

 complete arrangement. 



In the more advanced work that would 

 be impossible, and I have endeavored by 

 the aid of the line pictures in the previous 

 chapters, and now, in taking each flower 

 of the group separately to make clear the 

 putting together of a complicated arrange- 

 ment. It is with the hope that all who are 

 truly interested may be able to make with- 

 out difficulty an arrangement of any num- 

 ber or variety of flowers by the aid of 

 these suggestions. On the opposite page is a 

 nine line diagram which may be used for any 

 variety of flowers in standard vases, as the 

 three and five line were used before.
