two interests run. togetiier so closely 

 as to obscure the identity of either 

 one. They must have relative and pro- 

 portionate value; they must be simple 

 and distinct and show reason for their 

 existence. 



There must be harmony between 

 them, both in proportionate value and 

 in color. 



The Final Test. 



If, when you have finished your de- 

 sign, a Child just old enough to recog- 

 nize the meaning of the main form, or 

 a grown person uneducated in the prin- 

 ciples of art, looks at your work and 

 says, "It is a pretty harp of flowers, 

 with lilies growing up and on it," and 

 if you have pleased the eye with color 

 and proportion and left a pleasant, last- 

 ing impression, then the chances are 

 ninety-nine in a hundred that you have 

 been artistic and that your work will 

 stand the closest scrutiny of those 

 versed in the accepted theories of the 

 schools of art. 



We shall deal further with these 

 double interest and large designs in 

 our next installment.

BUSINESS EMBABBASSMENTS. 



Frankfort, Ky. — With reference to 

 the assignment of Louis D. Singer, al- 

 ready reported in The Review, the 

 following announcement has been is- 

 sued by D. L. Hazelrigg, the assignee: 

 "Pursuant to orders of court, I will 

 on December 20, 1912, at the Court- 

 house door at Frankfort, Ky., sell' the 

 greenhouse stock, plants and fixtures 

 to the highest and best bidder." 



Wisbech, England.— J. W. Cross, bulb 

 and seed merchant, recently laid his 

 affairs before his creditors, with the 

 result that a deed of assignment was 

 executed. The statement showed lia- 

 bilities of approximately $43,000 and 

 assets of $13,300. The chairman of 

 the meeting said he had always found 

 Mr. Cross straightforward, although a 

 somewhat optimistic and sanguine 

 man. He thought it said a great deal 

 for him that he made no claim on 

 behalf of his wife, but put the whole 



matter in their hands. The only thing 

 they could do-jstas to try to realize the 

 estate to the best benefit they could. 

 These remarks were generally endorsed. 

 Mr. Cross is a brother of Eli Cross, a 

 florist at Grand Eapids, Mich.

 the appointment of a receiver was filed

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHH. 



The accompanying illustration may 

 be of interest in view of the recent 

 articles on the best American vine. It 

 shows Ampelopsis Veitchii covering 

 two sides of the residence of J. T. Her- 

 degen, the florist at Aurora, Ind. The 

 vine attracts much attention, the dwell- 

 ing being located on the main business 

 street of the city. The building at the 

 right of the residence, just showing in 

 the picture, is the grocery of Herdegen 

 Bros., where flowers also are sold. At 

 the left are the greenhouses of Mr. 

 Herdegen. The hanging baskets shown 

 in the picture are Boston ferns and 

 Asparagus Sprengeri.
