beautiful. While in the autumn, the use 

 of chrysanthemums and other late blooming 

 flowers, with tree branches, produce most 

 charming results. In combining of colors, 

 it is a well-known fact that the East is

 will notice by the examples here given that 

 the colors of the flowers used are very 

 harmonious.

 brilliant maple leaves and yellow chrysan- 

 themums are subdued and brought together 

 by the autumn grasses which have turned to 

 soft browns and yellows. This is truly a 

 wonderful group representing all the glory 

 of autumn but prevented from being start- 

 ling by the use of the grasses.
