Getting Full Value of Flowers.

Highly ornamental vases are attractive In themselves but, as flower holders, they may be said to be partial failures, as they do not serve- their purpose to the fullest extent. They rather attract attention to themselves, than set off the blooms for which they are designed. A vase of plain material or color, or one on which the design Is obscure, Is more to be desired, as It presents the flowers In their full beauty, and does not distract one’s attention. In the same way, a vase of lusterware, of a shade that blends with the flowers It holds, Is far more attractive than one of contrasting color. Vases that are to be used for all kinds of flowers might better be green, of a dull shade, as this resembles the plant coloring and is not noticeable.
