220 NATIONAL BUTTON BULLETIN May, 19 5 4

"BUIITON ROSETTES" and other "NEW BUTTONS"
"Rosettes for trimming dresses: use strips of sarsenet scalloped and
placed upon stiff net. Quilt the silk closely, and place it in a spiral form
round the net. Place an elegant button in the middle."
The three cloth covered buttons on the right have black glass ornamental
trim. They were listed under the heading of "New Buttons."
The pictures with their headings and the description of the rosettes
are also from Peterson's rVagazine of the 1860 period.
