TREATMENT FOR CRAB APPLES (Supplement) 
Louise Blakeney 
FOR the apples, use Lemon Yellow, Yellow Brown, Yellow 
Red, Finishing Brown; Copenhagen Blue for greyish 
blue. Use Albert Yellow and Yellow Brown for reflected 
lights keeping them brave and brilliant. For second and third 
painting deepen the shades with Yellow Brown and Finishing 
Brown, accenting with Auburn Brown for pips and about 
stems. Wipe out high lights in first painting, putting a touch 
of blue or blue violet close against high light, thus making it 
more brilliant. 
For the lea\"es use Apple Green and a bit of Copenhagen 
Blue, thinly for light parts, Moss Green for yellower parts, 
Brown Green for deeper shades with accents of Dark Green. 
For stems use Copenhagen Blue for light grejash parts, deepen- 
ing with Finishing Brown, accenting in second or third firing 
with Auburn Brown and Violet of Iron. For background use 
Y'ellow Red, Blood Red and Violet of Iron running into greys; 
Finishing Brown used lightly and Copenhagen Blue. 
The reddish and shadow leaves are put in with \'iolet of 
Iron, Yellow Brown and Moss Green. 
RATTLESNAKE ORCHID (Page 129) 
M. V. Thayer 
TllE rattlesnake orchid is ([uite as attractive in its winter 
form as in the summer flower. The compact spikes of 
dull white flowers have given place to graceful stalks of 
balloon like pods which are ribbed and lined like tiny umbrellas. 
The color is a light husk brown with red brown lines and shad- 
ings. The leaves keep all winter the fresh dark blue green 
color with the ribs of white sharply marked.
