TABLE DECORATION AT THE BOSTON SHOW, NOVEMBER 9-12, 1911, est greens that the florist receives and is used largely for cheap festooning, and to fill in in floral work. This green is also used in making balls Tor the same purpose and in the same manner as the boxwood balls, but there will be a necessity of having bunches of red immortelles or winter- berries with the lycopodium to give them a ni^-n finish, Galax and Magnolia Leaves. These two greens an- not associated with Christ- mas but they are used extensively at this time as well as at all seasons of the year. There has been a growing I iistom in many sections of the cbun-. try of placing some Christmas gift or memento of green or flowers upon the graves of departed relatives, and the galax. magnolia leaves and sprays of leucothoe are used largely for this pur- pose, wreaths of these being very ap- propriate and filling the demand. The other greens are also used for this purpose, especially the boxwood and laurel. In making wreaths of galax they should be made very thick and heavy, for freezing weather has a tendency to curl the leaves and if I'laced outdoors in sections where the weather is apt to be cold, it is well to have leaves enough in the design to cover the frame, for otherwise when the leaves curl the moss can be plainly seen. Magnolia leaves make one of the richest wreaths for this purpose and they are not affected by the weather, Leucothoe is also a very good green for this purpose and if some of the dried flowers and foliage are arranged with this green some beautiful work can be supplied. Stat- Ice and wheat are both appropriate for this purpose and add greatly to the appearance. L.'i Crosse.
