. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. great deal of handsome material to work with, both flowers and foliage, consequentl}' grand effects in churches, ball-rooms and parlors will be seen. Probably the most artistic and carefully worked out floral picture for Easter is the one done by Carl Beers for Rev. Dr. Kittridge's Madison Avenue Church, an illustration of which will be shown in next number. The Easter theme is most beautifully painted in flowers, and the picture is set in massings of bloom and foliage with great st5'le and finish.
