You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
Italian Glass Vase Adorned
by MRS. HERBERT H. GREGER-

There are three things which
every American who has visited
Venice must have seen and en-.
joyed. He took a stroll near st
Marks, ride on the canals ir
a gondola and a trip to Mu.
rano to see the fabulous glass
blowers.
Murano glass is the substance
of our fragile container. It's de-
sign and texture represents the
treasured skill and craftsman
ship of the Venetian glass
blowers.
A funnel-shaped container
holds the flowers. A beautiful
and delicately decorated stem
holds it on a finely proper
toned round base. These three
parts. funnel, stem and base,
are originally distinctive but
can perform only as a unit.
While we now endeavor to
keep most modern glass con-
tainers free from too much
plant material so that we may
enjoy their transparent quality
this Italian Renaissance form
asks for an abundance of ma
terial and a voluminous silhou-
cite. The funnel part of the
container will be a very minor
effect in a loosely grouped mass
of material.
Upward Sweep in Center
Two varieties of Philadelphus
or mock orange were used. II
might help you to vaguely trace
some of the lines of these
flower branches. You will find
that there is an upward sweep
in the center of the arrange
ment which is accented by
some dark, purple-leaved plum
branches. In this central part
you will discover some she'll
pink polyantha roses, which are
in harmony and in exquisite
contrast with the white mocE;
orange and with the dark plum
leaves. Picking up their color
but in an adjoining soft shade
of pink to lavender, are three
double Towering, pompom-
shaped peonies which, like the
balls of the Medici, form one
closely knit central unit.
So much for the central part
Of the design. To the left and
right of it the mock orange
establishes horizontal units
from which cascade in baroque
abundance the fragile she'll
pink rose blossoms.
The strong upward direction
of the center gradually changes
into a graceful downward
movement. Let your imagina-
ton loose and you shall see in
this combined pattern the
standards and falls of fleur-
de-lis, the design of an Iris
blossom.
