Leaves.—Work solid, using Green, 781, 782, 783, 784, making the points of the leaves light and shading darker near the center, using two shades in a leaf. Make the larger leaves near the base of the spray in the darker shades of green. Use 757 for the stems. For tendrils choose 780 and 781.

Carefully examine Colored Plate XXVII. This shows the proper stitch direction and the shading of the flowers and leaves. Unless you thoroughly understand "long and short" stitch and "feather stitch," make a study of the article on "Embroidery Stitches—Described and Illustrated," especially of pages 11 and 12. (Difficult.)
