It is not necessary to own a variety store full of china or glassware, but a fairly large selection of containers makes it easier to arrange flowers artistically. Bowls with holders or "frogs" are ideal for short stemmed flowers and only a small amount of material is required for a complete picture. Taller vases should have a generous opening at the top to permit a natural display of the bloom and to prevent crowding of stems and THE BORDEN COMPANY ^^ ^ foliage. In selecting flower containers 194 Borden Building choose those of simple lines and soft color tints, as the container should always be less conspicuous than the flowers themselves.

Nsmi .,.,.........,,......»,....., Ailnu flowers in the 9^0 me attractive fragrance. The color appeal is perhaps the greatest, warm or bright colors being preferred by most people. In nature there is no such thing as an ugly color, but bad contrasts or poor association may spoil a good color. These so-called color clashes may occur between the flowers themselves, between the flower and the container, or between flowers and the surrounding walls, drapes and furnishings. Red is very conspicuous. Therefore use it sparingly. It is always lovely combined with foliage green, neutral gray or white. The last-named hues are the peace-making trio in the battle of the colors. Use them freely in combination or as backgrounds. Our best guide in securing good combinations of bouquets is nature herself. Study the flowers as they grow on the plant and try to imitate this ideal. The use of a single color is simple but most effective. > What can be more lovely than a vase of red roses, a basket of pink snapdragons or a low bowl of orange calendulas? Our problem becomes more complicated when severa l colors are to be used in tne same composition. Some definite suggestions are appropriate here: First, harmony by contrast of complimentary colors: Yellow DELOW AT TUB LEFT 18 A GOOD ARRANGEMENT : AT RIGHT A POOR ONE. TUB OTHER ILLUSTRATIONS SHOW OOOD .11111.1 .VGKMK.VTa coreopsis and blue larkspur, orange marigold and forget-me-not, violets and orange-yellow roses are cxampies of harmonious contrasts. The effect will be more pleasing if the cool colors, as blue and violet are used in greater quantity. Second , tints or shades of various colors: Pale tints of pink , yellow, blue, lavender or any other color blend beautifully. The same can be said of deep shades, as maroon , deep purple, bronze and others. Tints are more delicate and refined and exceedingly more popular. Third, variations of a single color: It is really surprising what beautiful effects can be secured by this method. Let us use yellow for an example and select a mixture of calendulas, yellow snapdragon, gaillardia , nasturtium , mignonette, yellow gladiolus and California poppy all carefully arranged in a soft brown basket or yellow bowl. The effect is altogether charming. Fourth, pronounced contrast : This color scheme calls for one of the pure colors, as red, blue, orange, yellow or violet, combined with white, black or neutral gray. For example, orange marigold in a black bowl, blue larkspur in a white basket, or red tulips in a gray container. Fifth, mixed color scheme: For variation let us suggest a riot of many colors. The only precautions necessary are an equal amount of each color used and not too much red or orange. Small white flowers and some feathery green foliage mixed in here and there will add the finishing touch. All shapes and sizes of flowers may be used. Proper form relation between blooms and container should always exist. Globular flowers, as the marigold, aster and gaillardia , are best fitted for round bowls. Large spikes of larkspur, gladioli and snapdragon require tall vases or slender baskets. Tulips, daffodils, sweet peas and nasturtiums are at home in the ever popular low bowls. Do not combine flowers of similar shape and size. The greatest fault with so many home arrangements is overcrowding. A loose arrangement is always more pleasing. In upright vases and baskets the flower stems should extend well above the top of the container. If there is too much foliage, remove some of the lower leaves. Most flowers look best with their own lonage. Art of any kind requires practice for perfection. The art of picture-making with flowers is no exception. It is a consolation to know that the flowers in themselves are so perfect that it is difficult to spoil their beauty if natural princip les'of arrangement arc followed .
