Flowers and Festivals 



unless made large and imposing, it had better be left 

 out altogether. 



Plate XIV. — Comprises four more designs suitable 

 to the Panels or Centres of Galleries, which the fore- 

 going remarks will have sufficiently explained. 



Fig. 2 — Is more especially intended for Harvest-tide, 



when the Centre should be one rich solid mass of 



flowers, with the ferns bound on fine wire, with green 



German wool, and then carefully bent into shape.

Plate XV. — As the explanation of the Plates pro- 

 ceeds, it becomes almost a repetition of what has gone 

 before. 



In this Plate, the only novelty is the hanging of 

 devices from the key-stone of the Arches. This must 

 be done by fine wire^ from each side of the arch, so 

 that the device hangs exactly in the centre, and not 

 more to one side than another, and the device must 

 also be covered on both sides, so that the effect is 

 equally good from all points of view.
