Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). only tones after all; and that brilliant colors are reserved for bits of accent or fleeting effects, as a bluebell, a yellow daisy, an orange sunset, or an autumn maple. These con- ditions in nature, if applied to our subject of home decoration, would suggest soft colors for all large surfaces as wall, ceiling, floor, and hangings, with accents of bright color in pictures, books, lamp-shades, and other small ob- jects, as Nature uses her flowers. This furnishes a sparkling play of color over the interior and enlivens the scene. Figures and patterns for walls.— Since a wall is a flat surface, designs should be flatly represented so as to lie tight to the wall. They should in general represent only two dimensions, length and breadth, not thick- ness. All shaded moldings or designs of any kind that imitate rounded forms are false in principle. A natural rose or an actual grape vine crawl- ing through an actual trellis is not good decoration. A floral wall paper should suggest to us the idea of a rose or other growth adapted to use on a flat stirface — not a confusion of lifelike flowers bulging from the wall. 40.
