Description

It was not uncommon for the floral competitions of the 1880s to include funeral designs. This illustration from J. Horace McFarland's 1888 book, Floral Designs: a Handbook for Cut-Flower Workers and Florists, featured a funeral design by longtime exhibitor Hugh Graham & Sons. This scroll with cross and crown is made of polished ivy leaves, with Perle roses outlining the edge.
