Flower and Foliage Forms

THE most repeated difficulty I have met during my constant travels totalk to the uninitiated, has been how to convey the meaning of such avast subject as flower arranging, in the short space of one afternoon or evening.

I finally developed a theory to prove that if different forms of materialwere used in the correct placements according to three basic principles,anyone, and I really mean anyone, could make a flower arrangement.

I found that an audience was not helped very much by watching lovelyand intricate arrangements made by an expert. They were entertained, yes,and full of admiration for all they saw, but they either had no similarmaterial to use themselves, or they did not know why it had been used andso little advance was made.
