Dust jacket reads: "Not long ago dried flower arrangements were apt to be dusty birds' nests with interest centered only in the long life of the materials. Today, thanks largely to Violet Stevenson's teaching, dried flower arrangements can be fresh, interesting and stylish. There are two main reasons for this: the discovery, preparation and use of materials hitherto believed unsuitable, and the insistence that they be used with grace and colour. Miss Stevenson gives detailed descriptions of preservation methods based on years of observation and experiment. She describes easily grown materials and gives methods of cultivation and she details the dried materials grown in warmer climates. For professional florists, for flower arrangement enthusiasts, for those who live in centrally heated apartments, this book, the first of its kind, is an essential guide."
