CHAPTER SEVEN 



HANGING AND HOOKED 

 ARRANGEMENTS 



FOR want of space in previous writing 

 on this subject, it was impossible 

 to describe the real charm and prac- 

 ticability of hanging arrangements, so I 

 am glad of the opportunity now offered 

 to show how well this style of arranging 

 flowers is adapted to western interiors. 



Hung out of the danger of being dis- 

 turbed, we feel reconciled to devoting more 

 time to a proper placing of each flower. 

 An unobstructed background which is in- 

 dispensable to bring out the complete 

 beauty of any flowers however arranged, 

 is more readily found on a wall, by a win- 

 dow, or at the side of a mantel than when 

 placed on a table with ornaments. Vines 

 may be kept growing in such vases when 

 hooked in the good light of a window.
