The second sample identified as item number 1444424001 consists of nylon twine with flower motifs. The flower motifs are attached to the twine approximately 6-1/2 inches apart. The flower motifs are composed of nylon with wire edges to hold the shape. They will be imported in continuous lengths of 12 yards for retail sale. In both instances the essential character is imparted by the artificial flowers.

The samples are returned as you requested.
