SCARLET BEAN (Supplement) 
Leia Hof locker 
FEW seem to realize the decorative possibdities of this 
most attractive old fashioned flower. The vivid color 
of the flower in graceful clusters, the large masses of leaves to 
set them off and the harmonious curves of the vine, all lend 
themselves most effectively to decoration. The panel shows 
an arrangement which could easily be repeated around a vase 
and give a semi-naturalistic treatment that would be wholly 
decorative. The ground of the panel is grey green over neutral 
yellow, the leaves and vines are in royal green over neutral 
yeUow, in fact the entire ground is first tinted neutral j-ellow 
and then fired before the design is painted. The scarlet flowers 
are painted in orange red, pompadour and Meissen brown. 
The outlines are painted in black.
