When there are plenty of snowballs, carna- 'tions, or hydrangeas, a solid white foundation with the exception of a ?curved space to be filled in with gar- I lands, permits of ornamentation in imany ways. With a frame mossed high, two wide garlands made on the white ground running from the top high across the center to the bottom lon the one side and the same on the Jother makes one of the handsomest iof pillows. The same treatment lengthways is good if the frame in effect can be shortened. AH white is often ordered, but a touch of color sometimes saves an otherwise mediocre piece of worlc. The addition of a few cattleyas, or lavender peas, or pur- ple asters in their season, nearly al- iways in one place, and not scattered iall over, is sure to heighten the effect. ilvy leaves in combination are very good.

It is best to first select all the flowers for the piece, then on the back of the order sheet put down the .quantity and list price, and if this Idoes not work out and more stock has to be used, the frame is too large or the arrangement is at fault.
