The American Florist. 767 tistic arrangements where the outlines of the frame are not too closely fol- lowed, and which permits of the larger and more prominent flowers and make it possible for the florist to arrange them in a more artistic manner with the accompaniment of beautiful ferns, which give him the opportunity to show his individuality in floral work.
