WESTERN FLOWER ARRANGEMENT 
by CARL STARKER 
A new book to encourage and instruct the home flower 
arranger. There are 7 brief chapters on “how and what” to do 
and 100 photographs arranged by seasons with descriptive 
notes on containers and materials used. The book is planned 
for the home rather than show purposes and uses only simple, 
easy to grow or obtain materials. 
The author has conducted a weekly column with photo- 
graphs and notes on arrangements in the Portland Sunday 
Journal Garden Section for some years, and has held classes 
and lectured widely in the Northwest on the art of flower 
arrangement. 
This book will find wide usage. The text is clear and con- 
cise and the information is sound. The keynote of the basic 
rules is simplicity and through its careful study one may de- 
velop arrangements of originality and distinction. 
We are proud to announce that it is included as one of 
the four books on flower arrangement in the “100 Best Books 
for the Gardeners Library,’ as compiled by Paul Frese, editor 
of Flower Grower, E. L. D. Seymour of American Home, and 
Elizabeth Hall, Librarian at New York Botanic Garden. 
Mrs. E. W. of Chico, Calif., says of it: “The illustrations 
are good. The script is so entertainingly written! One gets 
all enthused to make something new. You have a way of 
putting things in writing that gives that ‘lift’ to one’s spirit.” 
We think you’ll like it and we’re proud of this little book. 
Price $2.50 per copy, postpaid. Autographed copies will be 
sent if desired.
