It is altogether too long and is cut in too far at the top Of course, the designer could have im- proved on the shape without much trouble when arranging the flowers. Such a variety of flowers seems to have been used in the make-up that if they had been nicely arranged a hand- some design would have been the result. As near as the eye can discern from the photograph, there have been used valley, carnations, roses. Paper White narcissi and Eoman hyacinths. Just what the dark spots in the picture mean it is hard to say, unless they were some flowers of another color, presumably red.

The Bomans and Paper Whites would have been much better as a border for the piece. Then, by using a few more of the white carnations, the heart could have been made to appear solid white, with a nicely arranged spray of roses and valley across the center. If red flowers were used a smaller heart could have been worked out in the center in red and surrounded by white flowers. There are numerous ways of arranging flowers in the form of a heart, but we should never fail to get a nice outline. The flowers in this design may have been artistically arranged; if so, the photograph fails to give the artist cred- it, as is often the case.
