A Vegetable Bouquet.

A novelty in the way of bouquets was presented by an English lady to a gentleman. The order that vegetables only should be employed in its production was carried out as follows: Carrots in two shapes, long and short; radishes, kale; curled endive, the broadleaved Batavian variety—parsley being used instead of the usual fern-fronds seen in ordinary bouquets. The whole, including the holder, measured fifteen inches in diameter, and was mounted in the usual way irith wires.— English paper. ___
