. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. New Year's Floral Style OST of the handsome Lcorations made le fortnight h i\ e been in red ind E;reen the col- ors oi the em))k-in- ilic holh Holly Is so admirable this sL isou and is pol- ished and handled «ith such care that dinner embellish- ments with it are highly effective. vSprays are selected and wired together to form a band from six to eight inches wide. If the table is round the wreath is fitted exactly to it. In the center is placed a low vase filled with holly. Around this is a row of ardisia and solanum; the design is finished with a fringe of poinsettia and camellia leaves. Dinner arrangements with hybrid roses are simph' gorgeous. The table cover is rose-colored satin. On this is laid a cushioning of Asparagus tenuissimus in light chains, .so that the color of the satin shows through here and there. There is space left for the covers free of this foliage bed. In the center a low, flat basket is concealed, ill this are placed long stem roses. Jacqueminots, Beauties, Anna de Diesbach and Magna Chartas, ven,' loosely arranged. In the foliage over the table are laid long-stem hybrids, which are dis- tributed as favors after the repast. Sage green satin table covers are being used both for foliage decorations and those made with La France roses, which are now coming of extra size and elegance. Decidedly the most elegant ornamenta- tion made this week was that made in a Madison avenue mansion, where there is a gold service, including candelabra. The table cover was of gold colored rep silk. A long garland of Marechal Neil roses, very artistically made, was laid diagonally, and like a richly blooming \'ine, through- out the table. The candelabra were placed at the ends, diagonally opposite where the vines finished. These golden branches were covered with the rich yellow roses. The favors were handled-baskets of yel- low Bohemian glass filled with Marechal Neils. Yellow
