Autumn : Groups of berries, dried leaves, bracken, ferns, flowers and seed heads, spires of acanthus flowers at centre, beech and sweet-chestnut leaves preserved in glycerine, and massed dried hydrangeas.
Winter : Bare branches, variegated holly, cones, and a forsaken brid's nest filled with snow - the branches dusted with artificial snow and decorated with icicles, holly supplemented with artificial berries."
Also exhibited are flower vases designed by Spry.
