Posies Tortured By Amateurs Says Florist George Cothran By GAY PAULEY UPI Staff Writer NEW YORK (VPIi-Poor old posies. They're "tortured" by the way we amateurs toss together bouquets says a florist and lec turer on flower arrangements. George Cothran, a slim, dark haired man of 30 who came north from Georgia to show big city dwellers how to handle flowers, says that one look at most ar rangements and he weeps for the blossoms. "They're tortured," said Coth ran. "Distorted by fire into shapes never intended. The best flower arrangements go along with na ture. The flowers should not be bent into directions they-do not grow." To Cothran, the Jananese have the right idea in floral decoration. "All arrangements are built on three basic lines hmeaven, man and earth," he said.. "The heaven line points directly skyward; earth is the horizontal; man wavers in between, at about a 4-degree angle." "This provides balance." said Cothran. "And the Orientals know what they're doing. Flower ar rangement there has been one of the fine arts for centuries." "Like A Painting" One other Cothran rule: put the lighter colored flowers toward the top of an arrangement; the darker tones at the base. "Flower ar ranging is like a painting," he explained. "You want to lead the eye to the focal point." Cothran is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Cothran, who operate a peaches and watermelon-producing farm at Lithona, Ga. He said he had been interested in growing flowers "ever since I was a teenager. I started with African Violets as a hobby." He worked in flower shops to' help pay for studies at Mercer University, Macon, Ga., and the Those pastel-colored nail pol ishes are dandy for changing the color of a basic pair of white earrings.

After school, he hit the lecture circuit talking to garden clubs and other women's groups on flower arranging. une lecture lour ended up in New York and I decided to stay on," he said. The year was 195ti and Cothran figures he had about M "working capital" left. He started a "custom arrangement ousmess in a cold water flat in Greenwich Village, but in the next few days will open a posh shop on New York's costly East Side this time, with liveried door man to greet the customers. Cothran has gone after the floral, business of show business- cither for television or stage sots, or for the homes of those in the entertainment world. Arranges For Come When- I visited his shop, he was working on an arrangement lor "I'erry Presents," a summer. time replacement for the Perry Como television show. The set designer wanted a summery theme, so Cothran was figuring how to arrange pink and red carnations in a water-melon half He has done rose trees, covered with 200 to 300 blossoms, for SiOO. One client had an arrange ment of orchids flown to London for a party. This spring, for the Memphis, Tonn.,' Debutante Ball, Cothran did pink tulle and net irees, so me aeos would nave a place to pin their orchids, if, they didn't want to crush them while dancing.

"It lists his or her floral preference, the color scheme and type of furnish mgs in tne nome. A floral ar rangement has to fit the room we woulrin t put harsh oranges and reds in a room done in pastels. And some stark modern rooms can't take flowers at all.
