Flower Arranging Said
Centuries-Old Art Form
By EDNA KING MANDEVILLE
Flower arranRinr is a cen
turics-old art having its origin
in ancient Chinese culture.
From there it spread to Japan
where it became highly stylized,
the chief characteristic of which
Is the severe, almost stark,
"line'' form, the very simplicity
and severity of which lends to
th Japanese arrangements a
subtlety and beauty which is
difficult to surpass.
The western countries adopt
ed the custom of flower ar
rangement in the 16th and 17th
centuries in the courts of Eu
rope, where its most notable
characteristic became the mas
sive concentration of multicol
ored blossoms in elaborate jar
dinieres. The most apt descrip
tion of the early European ar
rangements might be termed
"unwieldy". This influence car
ried over into our own Vic
torian period. In more recent
times Americans have used
their advantage of being able
to choose the best qualities from
botht the East and the Wes
wisely and have succeeded in
discarding that which is not
pleasing in each.
The interest in flower arrang
ing, especially for the home, has
grown tremendously in recent
years. It is now widely accepted
a.s an art form and one of the
most enjoyable of hobbies. And
why not! Flower gardeners
spend much time and effort in
planting and cultivating flow
ers from seeds. It is only nat
ural that they should want to
carry this pastime one step fur
ther and transfer the results of
their effort inside where it can
do wonders to enhance the
charm and beauty of a room.

Basic Elements
We shall necessarily confine
our discussion to the very basic
elements in flower arranging be
cause to do more would be to
write volumes, which the limita
tions of space do not permit.
What is a flower arrange
ment? It is a composition, just
as a painting, a piece of sculp
ture, or a piece of music. There
are four basic elements in a
floral composition. These are
design, scale, balance, and har
mony.
Design is simply the shape
of the arrangement, the over
all plan which the gardener has
in mind at the start. If a dull
corner needs brightening and
a large vase of flowers appears
to be the solution to the prob
lem, that plan, whether good,
bad or indifferent, is the design
of the composition. One impor
tant feature of a design is that
it rarely happens by accident.
It usually is carefully thought
out, taking into consideration
other factors such as the size
of the ' area in which the ar
rangement will be placed, the
predominant color scheme, the
size and color of the container
used for the arrangement, and
so forth.
The scale of an arrangement
is the size relationship of all
its component parts. To use
Giants of California and Lilliput
Zinnias together in a slender
vase would naturally seem out
of proportion, out of scale, even
to the inexperienced arranger
Scale is achieved by using ma
terials which are reasonably the
same size both to each other
and to the container in which
they are displayed.
Balance in a flower arrange
ment can easily be achieved
When the composition is com
plete, simply stand away a short
distance and have someone hold
a straight stick or ruler in a
vertical position in front of the
arrangement so that it bisects
it from top to bottom. Is it too
heavy on one side? Does it ap
pear to be in danger of tipping
over? If so, it is out of balance
Harmony is harder to define
because it is concerned with
something intangible, something
which one can sense but cannot
"put one's finger on", so to
speak. It represents the aesthetic
value in a composition resulting
when all its component parts
supplement each other, with no
jarring, disturbing note.
Perhaps you have already real
ized that each of the foregoing
elements in flower arranging
are not entirely independent of
one another. There are factors
of each in all. A design must
be to scale and in order to
achieve balance a composition
must be harmonious in color,
for example.
A word of caution. Do not
expect miracles overnight. Flow
er arranging is fun but it takes
time and patience to become
proficient at it. Don't attempt
to make your arrangements too
elaborate at first. Experiment
with different flowers and a
variety of containers. What
may not look just right in one
may be excellent in another.
Keep the basic principles In
mind and you will gradually
find that your arrangements are
becoming more beautiful and
appealing. Do not become easily
discouraged if your attempts do
not turn out quite as you
planned. Remember that it
would be more difficult to have
a really bad floral arrangement
than a moderately good one
because of the very nature of
flowers. 1
