Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Floral Decoration Blue and orange are not slwyys pleasing because the orange is so vivid that to be used satisfactorily it must have a colorless environment but reduce one or both of these colors to a tint and the result will be quite different the trouble is with the brilliancy of the tone rather than with the color itself. (in speaking of tints and shades of s color. Tint means a color to which shite has been added making it lighter. And shade a color to which black has been added making it darker). Analogous colors may for the same reason sometimes be offensive. This is more often the case when the deep shades like red and purple are forced into combination. But so soon as white is introduced into these colors they become more pleasing and the more whits)or in other words the lighter the tint. The more satisfactorily do colors combine which used in deeper hues are continually warring against each other. White has been found so universally to serve as s softener that it has been called the peacsmaker among the flowers. If one imagines a bouquet of red. Purple. Orange and blue. And the same bouquet of light pink. Blue violet and yellow. The part it plays is quite evident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Floral Decorations for the Dwelling House: A Practical Guide to the Home Arrangement of Plants and Flowers The use of Floral Decorations in houses has become quite general in this country and this fact has induced me to write this little work, in the hope that it may prove a useful guide to those who, like myself, are fond of devoting a few moments now and then to the arrangement of cut flowers. Whether these flowers be choice, or only wild varieties, they will impart to the table on which they are placed an air of refinement that cannot otherwise be obtained; and the trouble and time spent in arranging them will be repaid tenfold by the pleasing effect produced. I must take this opportunity of thanking Mr. W. Robinson, Editor of "The Garden," to whom I am indebted for many of the accompanying engravings, which serve so well to illustrate the various styles of floral embellishment of which I have given descriptions in these pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heraldry and Floral Forms as Used in Decoration Decorators and designers of nearly every kind are certain at some time or other to come in contact with heraldic decoration or design, and though these chapters are not intended for a technical treatise, the specimens in the illustrations will no doubt lead some of my readers to dive deeper into this historically and artistically interesting subject. To a large extent the study of heraldry is like learning a language, which, in one sense, it is. It was veritably a method of picture writing which had a definite use in a time when the reading of the written word was not a subject of general education, but a comparatively rare accomplishment. The old writers on heraldry, enthusiasts in their speciality, went to great pains to prove the antiquity of the art, and no doubt instances can be brought to show that warriors of very remote times placed on their shields or banners symbols and badges by which they were known to their followers or their enemies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flower Shop: A Play in Three Acts Scene: A white spacious room of a flower shop in an inland American city. It is filled with a profusion of growing green things; bay trees, ferns, box, high over-arching palms massed in groups; ivy plants, asparagus, and delicate, feathery sprays of green hanging from the walls and ceiling, with here and there a plaster cast of a Greek god looking through the leaves; gay blossoming shrubs and bushes banked in tiers on the floor, - azaleas, white lilacs, Easter lilies, red and pink rambler roses. Great jars of cut flowers stand on the long worktable against the wall at the right. Large doors at the back, guarded by stone Japanese temple posts, lead into the salesroom, where may be seen a bit of the counter, the street door and the show window, another tangle of plants and flowers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Floral Designs: Series I A Hand-Book for Cut-Flower Workers and Florists This Little Book, upon which unusual labor has been expended, is offered to the cut-flower workers and florists of the country with the sincere hope that they will find it useful to them in their everyday work. It is an experiment; yet the publishers feel assured that it will be a successful one, because such a work has long been needed. Substitutes, in the shape of collections of photographs, are to be met with occasionally, only making more apparent the general need of some means for showing how floral designs look when actually made up, as well as of offering suggestions to the florist and his customers. In selecting designs for illustrations, great care has been taken to present only those of moderate cost and difficulty, such as will be constantly useful to the large majority of florists. Many superior effects have been regretfully laid aside because of their too elaborate character or too great cost, rendering them seldom or never available to many florists. The publishers hope to present in a future volume a set of larger designs, should the present work be found generally acceptable. The complete analysis of these designs, and the elaborate treatise on the proper handling of floral work and decorations (beginning page 105), will be found useful and suggestive, as showing how these things are done by a thoroughly successful artist. And the many suggestions of designs and effects suitable for all occasions will doubtless save much thought and worn if frequently referred to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Make Hand Made Flowers It would be folly to deceive ourselves or others in thinking we may imitate Nature's handiwork. We can only hope to have hand - made ﬂowers artistic. Many times the same principle is used for various ﬂowers. To make the ﬂower realistic, choose a shade of ribbon or silk as near the natural color of the ﬂower as possible. To further distinguish the ﬂower add commercial foliage. Proper foliage for many ﬂowers is obtainable. For in stance, in making violets, we would use violet colored material, - ii a rose, we would use rose-colored material. In this book are thirty - two models and the use of many different materials is described, - 7/silk, satin, velvet, organdy, kid, velvet, ribbon, chiffon, gingham, fancy ribbon, and chenille. The fancy ribbon creations are nice for boudoir decorations such as lamp or candle shades, pillows, bags or fancy boxes. Pink satin or chiffon ﬂowers are used With pleasing effect for caps and negligee. A hat may be trimmed with ﬂowers made of the same material as the hat, or a contrasting material is in good taste.

If we would but profit by what the Japanese have to teach us, no one who loves and longs for ﬂowers need be without one or two to give suggestion of nature's wealth of beauty. Even one Spray of green can suggest the freshness of growing things which is so often Shut out from our city lives; while our masses of roses and violets suggest only the hot house and are out of the reach of many who could have a few flowers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Cut Flowers: A Complete Guide to the Preparing, Arranging, and Preserving of Flowers, for Decorative Purposes Many people who are fond of flowers have but little knowledge of the length of life in water of any but a few of the commonest kinds; of the best methods of cutting and of keeping them fresh; of using them economically; and of arranging them effectively whether as regards the form and colour harmony of the flowers and foliage, or the variety and suitability of the vessels holding them, or the harmony of the flowers and vessels with their surroundings. To spread a knowledge of such matters and to stimulate investigation, my wife and myself some years ago offered prizes at the Dundee Flower Show for arrangements of cut flowers in suitable vessels, the judging not taking place till the third day, in order to roughly test the lasting qualities of the flowers. The experiment resulted in disappointment, only one exhibit being meritorious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
