During November chrysanthemums are at their best, and the flowers lend themselves delightfully to table decoration.

Chrysanthemums are now grown in many colours and varieties; and although the incurved varieties are quaint and novel, the most artistic are the ragged Japanese.

The charming designs shown in the illustrations are in the low style, which to-day has acquired a well-deserved popularity.

The flowers are arranged flat on the cloth. This style, therefore, is suitable only for flowers which, like chrysanthemums, keep well out of water.

The blossoms in the illustration were of a pretty shade of pink, and arranged with them were only their own foliage and buds.
