I'oin- setOas are perhaps the most popular of all. and whether larse or small are ex- cellent subjects for the purpose in hand. I-taskets simply filled with a good speci- men poiusettia. the handles caught with a bow of red ribbon, are extremely ef- fective, the foliage of the poiusettia. if sood. forming sufficient soil. Then there are small conifers that associate well \s\'A\ poinsettias—biotas, cupressus and others—all of which, if properly and tastefully arranged, make good work. The foliage begonias of the Rex section are becoming more ix)pnlar for plant bas- kets. Some of the varieties are ex- tremely bright and showy and a good stock of small plants will be a valuable asset to the retailer who has much of this class of work to do. Ardisias are splen- did subjects for small baskets if the ber- ries are plentiful and well colored—in fact there is no lack of good material. The arrangement is the thing, and the decorator who can put up graceful and effective combinations of color without crowding on the one hand or an unfin- ished, empty appearance on the other will probably find no difficulty in dis- posing of his wares at a profit at this holiday, when, more so, perhaps, than at any other, the purse strings of ri<h and iHior alike are loosened.
