60 BRITISH FLORAL DECORATION 



Rony Buchanan with Pasquin. 



Elizabeth Shiffner with Duchess of Wellington. 



Miss Willmott, Cardinal, and Royal Scarlet must be used 

 alone, and never in rooms where the decorations are 

 pink, salmon, yellow, old rose, or crimson. They 

 are very effective in white, dark and pale green, or 

 brown rooms, but are seen at their best in new or 

 old oak-panelled rooms, and should always be placed 

 as near the background as possible. 



Elizabeth Shiffher with a few Benbow. 



Elizabeth Shiffner with Mrs. George Marshall and a 

 few Daffodil would make a superb table decora- 

 tion. 



Practically all the fancies go well together, as they are 

 not aggressive in colour, and are specially useful for small 

 vases in the drawing-room or boudoir. 



PERPETUAL-FLOWERING 

 CARNATIONS 



There is no doubt that this flower, the cultiva- 

 tion and perfection of which has made such rapid 

 strides during the last ten years, is destined to occupy 

 the highest place in the list of decorative flowers. 

 Its merits require no writing up from me, as they 

 are already well known to every lover of flowers. 

 Unlike the Border Carnations, these beautiful flowers 

 are with us the whole year round, and it is diffi- 

 cult to imagine what we should do without them
