Floral Sprays 
made quickly and firmly 
Beautiful, firm floral sprays may now be made 
faster and better with the use of inexpensive Hill- 
man Floral Spray Bars. Use of the Hillman 
Wreather Machine is optional since the Floral 
Spray Bars have clips of dead-soft wire which 
may be locked over flowers and greens by hand. 
The Hillman Method of making floral sprays 
eliminates the tedious jobs of ... 
e preparing a base 
e picking flowers and greens 
Make your floral sprays following these simple steps 
and complete the spray as you proceed (only those 
flowers needed for height should be wired). 
STEP 1. Place desired amount of flowers, ferns 
and greens in first clip. 
STEP 2. Close clip by hand or with the Hillman 
Wreather machine. 
STEP 3. Add flowers and greens in each suc- 
ceeding clip and close. 
STEP 4. When last clip is reached, reverse flow- 
ers and greens in last clip and close. 
STEP 5. Place ribbon.

ing from one side to the other. Start from both 
ends and work to center. Make sure that only

J2can be made faster 
with the HILLMAN Garland Clip 
Old, time-robbing, inefficient methods of making 
holiday garlands (roping) can now be eliminated 
with the use of Hillman Garland Clips. 
Available in three sizes, Hillman Garland Clips 
ensure maximum results in making garlands 
(roping) without using costly skilled labor. Pro- 
duction can easily be doubled. 
When ordering Garland Clips be sure to specify size. 
1 CLIP FOR LIGHT WEIGHT GARLANDS 
(lycopodium, cedar, etc.) 
1%” CLIP FOR MEDIUM WEIGHT ine 
(hemlock, laurel, etc.) 
2’ CLIP FOR HEAVY WEIGHT GARLANDS 
(spruce, balsam, and similar heavy materials) 
Using the Hillman Wreather Machine to make 
Garlands follows similar steps in wreath-making: 
STEP 1. Adjust. jaws to size of clip. Set jaws 
slightly smaller than clip to ensure a snug fit. 
STEP 2. Place clip in jaws. Surround base (rope 
or wire) with desired amount of greens and set 
inside clip. Press foot pedal to lock clip. 
STEP 3. Set clips from 3 to 5 inches apart de- 
pending on evergreens used. Continue above op- 
eration until desired length is reached. 
Using the Hillman Method in making garlands 
(roping) requires boughs that are longer than 
those used in making hand wrapped garlands. 
For example, use ten to fifteen inch boughs 
rather than those six to eight inches long.
