Dahlias used in the arrangement 
(Right) are: 
ANNA BENEDICT, center; and start¬ 
ing with top, center, moving clockwise: 
MISS GLORY, CLARA CLEMENS, 
GOLDEN STANDARD, BAUER’S 
IDEAL, LORD OF AUTUMN, BOBBE 
DEAN, GOLDEN AGE and FLAMING 
METEOR. 
A group of dahlias, arranged on a flat platter, with their backs and stems in 
water. The use of this type of arrangement is invaluable. 
It gives a beautiful mass of color, yet takes little space, even being low enough 
for use as a table centerpiece (and what a marvelous centerpiece such an ar¬ 
rangement does make.) 
In addition, the flowers keep exceedingly well — better than otherwise because 
the short stems absorb lots of water, but particularly because the back petals 
of the dahlia, which always wither first, are back to the platter, and conse¬ 
quently never show.
