new curtains, wall paper and other
decorations buy them to fit the
flowers that are to be kept indoors
all winter.
Golden callas and narcissi are
recommended for blue room.
White narcissi, hyacinths and
freesias are for room with . pale
green color scheme. Salmon,
shrimp, orange and red fittings
call for suitanas, cyclamens, prim-
roses, geraniums, amaryllis and
cacti. Instead of using plants
merely as finishing touches, they
should have definite place in the
decoration Of a home," says the
writer. "Those priced for their
foliage are as important as those
that bear flowers" Heretofore he
concludes, people have been too
prone to keep flowers merely as
flowers, without regard to their
harmonizing colors.
