Netschert's (1863-1918) large artificial palm trees, and shrubbery could be moved easily by dismantling them, cleaned, and then reassembled. He sold funeral, wedding, religious, friendship, and other special event wreaths in arrangements crafted from porcelain and metal flowers, feathers, Uvas grass leaves, and more.
