WHAT THE FLOWERS SAY ABOUT IT
Don't mix us; we are exclusive and prefer our own kind.
Don't make a confusion of colour with us.
Don't arrange us in snug, solid masses.
Don't neglect to use our stems and foliage as a part of the decoration.
Don't tie us with ribbons, nor put paper-lace frills around us.
Don't crowd us in with an assortment of household goods; we need space and a background.
Don't arrange us in tall, stiff forms for the dining table.
Do love us and use us in the home as much as possible. This is well for you. By so doing not only will your love of us increase, but your artistic perception of the fitness of things will constantly enlarge. For truly has it been said, "The poorest woman in the world, if she has faith in beauty, will always be able to fill her home with light; she can always place there some flowers."
