Suggestions for tke Decorations of Automobiles by Individuals
If you wish to cover car, use dark tarpaulin, canvas, oilcloth or outing flannel, the latter more easily adjusted than the others.
Florists often use board covered six inches deep with moss tied on securely. These can be used on the running boards and on the open top.
Wire flowers to pointed sticks and insert in moss.
Make wire designs, fill with moss and use as desired. Joseph W. Huserik, East 39th and Grapt Sts., Tabor 61,18, makes wire designs.
Use plenty of green in the form of long branches. Huckleberry or maple is good. Any firm background of green is desirable before flowers are inserted.
Long vases or baskets can be used, or tin cornucopia or cemetery tins, which can be tied or inserted in the deep moss. These tins can be secured at any department stores or seed stores.
For high effects use laths decorated.
First decide upon design and color scheme and then hold to it absolutely. Use flowers which you can obtain in large quantities.
Flowers tied in large bunches and spraying effects are advised.
All costumes and designs should correspond in color and effect.
Use plenty of tulle, tarletan and ribbon where desirable.
Any design where movement can be obtained is most effective, such as butterflies and birds with wings in motion.
Flowers that are most effective and least apt to vftlt are the following:
Lupins Larkspur
Daisy Gladioli
Broom Peony
Carnations Rhododendrons
Cosmos Snapdragon
Roses are the most perishable of all other flowers for this purpose, the Dorothy Perkins and Red Rambler are recommended if the rose is to be used.
Artistic and pleasing effects may be secured by the proper grouping of little children attired in white or light colored dresses.
Very beautifully decorated cars and floats are often spoiled because of men drivers appearing in black or shabby hats. It is suggested that men drivers wear either straw hats or no hats at all.
