. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 1907. The American Florist. 109 THE RETAIL TRADE Amerpohl's Fern In Cut Flower Work. iJcsidcs its undoubted beauty as a pot plant, Nephrolepis Amerpohli will be very extensively grown as an aid to making up choice designs. The fronds have a singularly soft appear- ance that fits them well to accompa- ny almost any kind of cut flowers and in our illustrations it will be seen that it associates equally well with light flowers like the lily of the valley and those of a heavier nature like roses. But its attractiveness is only one of its good points. Its lasting character is such that it remains fresh long after the flowers with which it has been used are faded, and in some work, where a display for a considerable time has to be kept up, fresh flowers may be added as the first ones decay without changing the green setting. These good points, and the fact that the variety is a good breeder and very easily grown, point to a successful career for Amerpohl's nephrolepis. It will undoubtedly obtain and keep a leading position among standard va- rieties of florists' ferns. French Decorations. The French decorators have many charming ways of arranging their plants and cut flowers as may be seen at the exhibitions like that of the Horticultural Society of France, as described and il- lustrated in The American Florist of July 13. .^ pretty combination by Lach- aume consisted of an arrangement of plants of metrosideros with ericas, ferns and clear yellow and spotted red and yel- low calceolarias. Another pretty display consisted of blue, white and purple cle- matis with Lilium lancifoHum roseum, calceolarias and adiantums. A mantel decoration was very pleasing. The fire- place was filled with pink and blue Hydrangea hortensis, the shelf garnished with azaleas, ericas, amaryllises and adiantums, while the mirror was draped with Asparagus plumosus nanus and Japanese maple branches.
