Leaves.—Work solid, making each leaf of one shade. Make the leaves at the top of each spray with 781, the next two leaves with 782, and those next below with 783. Continue to make the leaves darker toward the bottom of the spray. Work the stems in very fine stem stitch with a thread of Filo Silk, 527, split in two parts. (Easy.)

Border.—Work the scallop in buttonhole stitch with Corticelli Persian Floss, White, 615. In the three shell shaped scallops the stitches should be irregular on the inside. Now shade Corticelli Filo Silk, Blue, 517, into the white (in these three shell shaped scallops), giving a long and short effect on the inside. See Colored Plate VI for method of working border; the coloring however, will be found different from that intended for this design.
Flowers.—Work solid. Use Blue, 517, 519, 520, for the petals, varying the shading. Give a touch of Pink, 679, to some of the petals. Make a French knot of Yellow, 504, in the center of the open flowers. Work some of the buds with Blue, 519, and some with Pink, 679. Use Green, 782, for the calyx.
Leaves.—Work solid. For the points use Green, 781, shading toward the stem with 782. Work the stems with 782. (Easy.)
