Decorative Foliage

Explains that decorative foliages from certain species of trees, shrubs and other forest plants are in commercial demand for making floral arrangements and that gathering boughs, fern fronds and mosses for this purpose provides a livelihood for thousands of families in the Western United States. Points out that the economic benefits of floral greenery are multiplied many times when it is processed for shipping, sold to wholesale distributors and eventually made into attractive displays by retail florists throughout the country.
