Above is a pleasing symmetrical arrangement which should be placed in the exact center of
a dining table, mantel, or shelf. The table here is much too narrow. This is a free-standing
composition (both sides finished); the other side has a different focal point. The magnolia
bud in the center was more effective after it had opened. The small transition flowers add
a touch of femininity. This is a basic form of design for dinner-table decoration.

The decorative value of the collection of house plants shown below is enhanced because they
are consistent in size and are arranged in an orderly manner. The turn table can be rotated
between tho kitchen and dining alcove. Courtesy Armstrong Cork Company.
