one penny on bread so as to keep you alive.Spend the other penny on flowers so as to providea reason for living.  \nChinese proverb.  \nWhen the bleak winter descends and all is grey,chill and cheerless,flowers withtheir warmth and colour really do provide a reason for living.With a few flowers aroom can be brightened and warmed out of all recognition.  \nDuring the winter when the garden is bare flowers come from either the heatedglass-house or from the more sunny climes.Consequently you will tend to get ratherless than at other times for the same expenditure.  \nA few flowers however can be used to create a charming arrangement and this bookconcentrates upon those types of arrangement which are modest with their flowerrequirements.  \nFlowering and foliage plants by themselves or in conjunction with cut-flowers arewell worth considering as they represent outstanding value.  \nAll your ingenuity will be tested to produce beautiful flower arrangements from solittle.I hope you will consequently find the ideas and basic technique instructionsin this book of value and that you will soon find that the world's most popular andsatisfying pastime—flower arranging—can still be enjoyed and pursued,evenduring the dark frugal days of winter.  \nMARK J.WESTON  \nChristmas Flower Arranging  \nInstruction Books  \nSpring Flower Arranging  \nParty Flower Arranging  \nThe Art of
