SILVER TANKS
FOR SUMMER FLOWERS. Square vases of sparkling silver, shaped like glass tanks, are the latest containers for flowers. Almost any neibaceous border flowers which have lanly long stems are suitable for these tanks. . Sometimes the silver is engraved in a bold design, a favourite one being swimming fishes. These tanks look better when filling up corners rather than as table decorations. On a dinner table they rather obscure the guest opposite. For table use the new shallow silver bowls are most attractive. These are barely two inches deep, and look best filled with tiny flowers which have been broken off just below the blossom. Mignonette and forget-me-nots packed tightly, with here and there tiny moss rose buds and old-fashioned single pinks, look particularly well. To give an atmosphere of coolness on a hot day. silver urns filled with green leaves and fern arc effective.
