Baskets of cut flowers have been used for almost all purposes except for fu- nerals, but now they are finding a sale SB a substitute for the set piece and the spray. The basket of flowers, it is true, has the significance of congratula- tion or well-wishes, but this idea has not become so fixed in the mind of the public as to make it a seeming impro- priety to send baskets to funerals. The accompanying illustration shows a basket of American Beauties arranged by Miss Lena Zigelhofer, of the Sum- merfidd Floral Co., Springfield, Mo. It was the first example of this style of funeral offering to be put out in that part of the state and it is said to have been especially pleasing because it was different from all the other flowers at the funeral. The basket itself was covered with adiantum and the arrange- ment stood five feet high. The Eeview would be glad to hear from retailers as to their views as to the use of baskets for funeral flowers. ORIENTAL SETTINGa For Gorgeous Flowers. An immense bunch of scarlet poppies or a group of gloxinias will make a striking window display, if given a proper setting, or will make a decora- tion for a reception, or a fraction of an elaborate hall or residence The richness of color, size and style of these flowers seem to require, occasion- ally at least, an oriental setting. Among other materials of this kind there is none much more fascinating than the Filipino grass huts, mats, nets and calabash. The floor may be covered with grass mats or matting, and the *~® ?^ ^^^^ 0^ *^6 window partitioned off with bead tapestry, or if such can- not be had, strands of Job's tears or other berries capable of being strung, ^ntersperse with these some fishnet draperies and, to elaborate, line these nshnets with oriental silk of a color to jnatch the flowers to be used.
