CUT FLOWER ARRANGEMENT

is for us to be prepared to furnish them, and on short notice, too. 

 It is well not only to carry these leaves always in stock and moss 

 and hairpins as well, but also to have a few wreaths made up, ready 

 for the addition of a cluster of flowers and some soft green. Thus 

 you are enabled to deliver one at a few minutes' notice, especially 

 during Winter time when a shortage of flowers may prevail. Magnolia 

 wreaths can easily be carried for a long time if properly put away 

 from dust, dirt and dampness. 



Cycas and Galax leaves, Statice, wire, tinfoil, Wood Ferns, 

 Boxwood, Leucothoe, ribbon, cut flower baskets, lettering, cut 

 asparagus, toothpicks, chenille and design boxes are just some of 

 the items one should always be supplied with. 



Fig. 52. A DIGNIFIED WREATH WITHOUT FLOWERS. There are occasions when a 

 wreath like this will not only prove a pleasant change from the average but, with a 

 scarcity of flowers in Winter time, will appeal to those located far away from the 

 cities. I doubt whether one could add anything to this design by using flowers in 



connection with it
