Blending of colors and con-
trasts in form are the keynotes.
Today's lilacs are of the late
blooming, Chinese variety.
Since these clusters are even
larger in size than the COM
mon lilacs or the double
French varieties, a tall con-
tainer is recommended.
You never had it easier to
arrange in a tall container,
provided you obtained me-
chanical aid called "Oasis"
This is a material with the
ability to hold water without
leakage. All florists will sup
ply you. Just soak 1t in water
for several hours before fitting
it snugly into your container.
AS you know, lilacs wilt
easily.
I would suggest the ends of
the stems over your electric or
gas burner; then after crush
ing the stems. put the lilacs in
deep water for several hours.
Remove about two-thirds of
the foliage to reduce the loss
of moisture from the leaves.
Keep II Airy, Fragile
The silhouette Of this ar
rangement should be airy and
fragile. You achieve this best
when you arrange your tall
est lilacs in varying heights.
using some shorter branches to
achieve some width as well.
Cut each stem slantwise to in
sert smoothly into the Oasis.
Hold the lilac at the desired
angle and push gently until
your stem stands securely
where you want it.
Work from back to front and
place the lilacs so that they
add to one another's beauty
Mass some Of the shorter clus-
tiers so that your arrangement
flows over the rim of the con-
tainer.
Check yourself there.
Should this area look I'M
natural and cramped, restore
the airiness you wish to achieve
by pulling one or two of the
clusters forward beyond the
position of the others.
Now add the beautiful peo-
nies-the large single variety,
with hearts Of fringed gold in
which fat. fruiting bodies sit
erectly like wise men in consul
tation. Each flower is a gor-
